The management of Chrisland High School in Ikeja has tendered a public apology , expressing regrets over the death of one of their students , Whitney Adeniran on February 9.
Late Whitney’s mom, Blessing Adeniran took to social media to call out the negligence of the school over the death of her daughter and circumstances surrounding her death.
It was followed by an outcry by netizens and Nigerians at large, which necessitated the Lagos State ministry of Education to temporarily shut down the school pending an investigation.
An autopsy result which was done on February 15 indicated that the girl died from asphyxia and electrocution.
The School in their reaction to the result and an allegation that they planned to exhume her body, denied such claims , saying that they are equally mourning and has no plans to disrespect the remains of Kate Whitney but instead, said that they have plans to immortalize her name so that she will remain indelible in their consciousness.
Expressing their sadness and remorse to Whitney’s parents , they also apologized to the Nigeria Media in case they have sent unbearably quiet signals.
Meanwhile, the school is to remain shut pending further investigation that will clarify other safety issues in the school.
Whitney Adeniran died at the age of 12.
