The last few days have been very difficult and so painful for our church family (Lux Terra Chaplaincy, Abuja)… We lost one of our church sons on Wednesday, June 19th.

Blaize (Blaise) Felix was a super intelligent and brave 15 year-old SS2 student of Air Force Comprehensive School in Kaduna. He was the Assistant Head Boy, The Abuja Inquirer learnt. 

Orphaned when he was 4 years-old in 2013 and he and his twin brothers have been in their Aunt and Uncle’s care since then. 

However, the hopes and aspirations of family and friends will come to nought as he was murdered in the Airforce Secondary School, Kaduna, by fellow students.

According to aggrieved family sources, Blaize was electrocuted to death by two SS3 boys.

A family friend, Dr. Inya Ode on her Facebook page wrote: “One would think he had crossed the stage of bullying but no… This son of ours was electrocuted to death by two SS3 boys for no just cause. These young men, who were already on their way out of school, snuffed the life out of Blaize for reasons best known to them.”

She further stated that the Airforce was investigating, “so we await the reports of this.” 

But we all know that if this was a private school, it would have been shut down the day it happened.

Speaking on the deceased, “the picture below was from the last time Blaize was home, during the Easter Break. He answered a question on Good Shepherd Sunday (April 21, 2024) about Leadership. 

“As the Assistant Head Boy, that day he made a commitment to never bully his juniors. Yet, the same thing he fought against took his life. 

“Well, God knows best and, difficult as it is, we COMPLETELY SURRENDER to His perfect will. 

May his Amazingly Phenomenal soul rest in God’s perfect peace, and may all left behind to mourn him find strength and comfort in the HOPE of the Resurrection, we ask through Christ our Lord, Amen.”
