Father of 12-year-old Chrisland kid who died during inter-house sports demands investigation.

Whitney Adeniran, 12, allegedly passed away while participating in inter-house sports at Chrisland International School, Opebi branch, according to her father Michael Adeniran, who has gone to social media to express his grief.

Adeniran claimed his daughter passed away on Thursday at the Agege Stadium, which the school utilized for its athletic events, in posts that circulated on social media on Saturday night.

He said that the girl was in perfect health when the school bus picked her up for the occasion.

Adeniran noted that although his wife was at the stadium, the school did not immediately tell her to the incident and that neither he nor his wife had received an explanation from the school.

He has since urged the police and the Lagos State Government to investigate the incident and bring his child’s murderer to justice.

Adeniran stated via the post, “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 have conveyed our child out of the venue before they informed her. On 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 to the place and found my 12year 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 claimed they know nothing about my daughter’s death and all they know is that my daughter slumped and died.”

Adeniran added that the school did not send an ambulance or paramedics to the event, with the exception of a nurse he called a “quack,” who later admitted that the child had passed away at the stadium.

He added that, “My question is what happened to my daughter at Agege stadium? As a father, I demand answers from Chrisland International High School. I am in deep pain and sorrow right now. If you are a father you will understand my pain. My daughter is highly loved by us. We cherished her existence and we can never allow an institution to gloss over the death of our daughter.

“Since we started asking this question. The school has been asking us to back down from the autopsy and I know they know their way into the system. I am calling on the pathology department of @lasuth to please be honest with their result. Lagos State government, Nigerian Government, please intervene.”

On social media, many Nigerians have demanded justice for the murdered youngster and urged the authorities to step in.
