February 13, (THEWILL) – The Lagos State government has ordered the closure of Chrisland School, Opebi-Ikeja, following the death of a student, Whitney Adeniran.
THEWILL earlier reported that 12-year-old Whitney Adeniran, a student of Chrisland’s Opebi-Ikeja branch, died on Thursday, during the school’s inter-house sports activities at the Agege Stadium
While her family had accused the school of negligence, demanding a probe into the circumstances surrounding Whitney’s death, the school management said she had reported “not-too-buoyant” health on January 20.
Chrisland dismissed insinuations that there was foul play in her death, adding that she slumped in public.
However, the State Government has ordered the temporary closure of the school.
A statement signed by the State Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, said the closure was ordered pending the outcome of a full investigation into the unfortunate incident.
Adefisayo, on behalf of the State Ministry of Education, commiserated with the parents of Whitney, and prayed for the repose of her soul.
“We also note the impact of this unfortunate event on family, friends and acquaintance of Whitney and call for calm, as we assure that no effort will be spared in investigating the incident”, the Commissioner stated.
