The Lagos government has ordered the closure of a Chrisland School over the death of a student.
Whitney Adeniran, a student of Chrisland’s Opebi Ikeja branch, died during a sports event on February 9.
Blessing, the deceased’s mother, accused Chrisland of negligence as her family continued questioning the school.
She said the school made no provision for emergency response at the event, hence didn’t administer first aid.
Folasade Adefisayo, Lagos education commissioner, says the school is now closed, pending an ongoing probe.
“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.
Chrisland Schools had in a statement on Sunday denied Complicity in the death of the student, adding that contrary to reports, Whitney was actually “not-too-buoyant” health wise before the incident.
