A student of Chrisland International High School, Opebi, Lagos, Whitney Adeniran, has died during the school’s inter-house sports in Lagos.
According to the 12-year-old girl’s father, Dr Michael Adeyemi Adeniran, the child died at Agege Stadium on Thursday, February 9, 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 Facebook post where he was seeking justice and explanation, he wrote, “To the biggest shock of my life, by 1 pm in the afternoon, I got a call from my wife that she was informed that our daughter slumped at the inter-house sport and she was rushed to the clinic.” My wife was at the venue even before the event started. She was never informed or called until they had conveyed our child out of the venue before they informed her.
“On the arrival of my wife at the health center where they took my daughter, my daughter was lying dead with her lips black and her tongue black.”
“My wife called me urgently. I left my office and went to the place where I found my 12-year-old daughter lying dead on the ground. I asked questions about what happened to my daughter, and the school authority could not get me any information as to what happened to my child in their care.
“I gave Chrisland School a healthy, vibrant young girl; what Chrisland returned to me is a dead child.” “My entire family is in deep sorrow, but the school authority claims they know nothing about my daughter’s death, and all they know is that my daughter slumped and died.”
