Chrisland: Whitney Was Electrocuted, Lagos Government

The Lagos State Government said the late Adeniran Omodesola Whitney, a pupil of Chrisland School, Opebi, died of Asphyxia and electrocution.

The Office of the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Moyosore Onigbanjo, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

The statement revealed that the post-mortem report issued by the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital on Wednesday showed that the deceased cause of death revealed asphyxia and electrocution.

“The Lagos State Government commiserates with the deceased family while reassuring Lagosians that anybody found culpable would immediately be charged to court,” the statement read.

Onigbanjo had on February 13 ordered a coroner’s inquest to ascertain the cause of death of the late Whitney, who died during the school’s inter-house sports on February 9. The late Whitney was buried today in Lagos.

Recall that last week, Whitney Adeniran, was reported dead on February 9 during the Chrisland schools’ inter-house sports in Lagos has again added to the scandals recorded in the school in the last few years.

The school has had one of its personnel sexually violate a minor. Mercifully, he has since been jailed. Last year, some students of the school were involved in a sex scandal during a trip to the United Arab Emirates.

Also recall that, in 2019, an ex-staffer of the Chrisland in VGC bagged a 60-year jail term for defiling a two-year-old girl in 2016.
