Reports indicate that her mother was in Nigeria at the time of the incident. The accident occurred at an apartment complex on Chalkfarm Drive in North York, near Jane Street, around 8:15 p.m. The Toronto Police Service said officers responded to a call described as “unknown trouble” and, upon arrival, found the child unresponsive on the ground outside the building. Residents of the apartment complex described the girl as a lively and familiar presence in the community, saying her death has deeply affected neighbours. One resident told CP24 that the child was often seen playing around the building. “She used to come here all the time and play… she was a lively kid. It’s very, very sad,” the neighbour said. Another resident expressed heartbreak over the incident, noting that the girl was a familiar face during daily routines like school runs. “It’s crazy that I will never see this child again. I see her every morning. It’s heartbreaking,” the resident said. According to neighbours, the girl had been staying with a family friend on the top floor of the building while her mother was away in Nigeria. Some residents also raised questions about how the incident happened, pointing out that the building has window safety features intended to prevent full opening. “To be fair, they do have precautions on these windows to make sure these things don’t happen,” one resident said. Another added that the windows are secured and cannot be fully opened, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the circumstances. The property management company, Greenwin, which oversees the building at 200 Chalkfarm Drive, described the incident as “deeply saddening” and extended condolences to the family. The company confirmed that emergency services responded quickly and said it is fully cooperating with investigators. However, it declined to comment on the condition or maintenance history of the windows, citing an ongoing investigation. Toronto police said the case is not being treated as suspicious at this stage, although investigations are still ongoing pending autopsy results.

Otti: Is It Not Embarrassing That Illusory Self-praise Govt Is Desperately Shopping For Endorsements? – APC.
The Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied reports claiming that the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, endorsed Governor Alex Otti for re-election in 2027.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
reports that the APC Publicity Secretary in Abia State, Uche Aguoru, dismissed the alleged endorsement in a statement issued on Friday, describing it as misleading, malicious, and a fabricated propaganda being circulated by the governor’s media team.
The party also criticised what it described as attempts by the Otti administration to seek validation, questioning why a government it accused of self-praise was allegedly “shopping for endorsements.”
Aguoru said the party would ordinarily not have responded but chose to clarify the matter to prevent the public from being misled by false information.
According to the statement, “Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu remains a loyal, committed, and dedicated party man, as well as the undisputed leader of the APC in Abia State.”
It further stressed that Kalu has never at any time, publicly or privately, endorsed Governor Otti for a second term.
The APC maintained that the Deputy Speaker remains fully committed to strengthening the party’s chances in future elections and ensuring victory across all positions in Abia State, including the governorship in 2027.
It added that Kalu remains resolute in his opposition to the current Labour Party-led administration in the state, which the party accused of poor governance and mismanagement in key sectors.
The statement urged residents of Abia State to remain united and continue supporting the APC, which it described as a credible alternative capable of delivering better governance in the state.
