The management of Chrisland school has tendered a public apology over the death of one of its students, Whitney Adeniran.

Whitney Adeniran, a student of Chrisland International High School, Opebi, Ikeja, Lagos passed away during the school’s inter-house sports competition.

According to the 12-year-old girl’s father, Dr. Michael Adeyemi Adeniran, the child passed away at Agege Stadium on Thursday, 9th February 2023. He said the child had no health condition or sickness as of the time the school bus picked her up for the event.

In a now-deleted post, the school said they are remorseful and sorry about the death of Whitney to her parents, the community that hosts them and the nation at large. They also extended their apology to the Nigerian Mass Media if they have sent unbearably quiet signals to them.

Explaining why the school has been quiet about the death of Whitney Adeniran, the management said the student’s death was shocking and they decide to honour the privacy of her family to mourn her loss.

The school also debunked claims that it wanted to exhume Whitney’s body to carry out a second autopsy.
