Chrisland International High School, Opebi Branch, Lagos, has been dragged into public view again following the reported demise of a 12-year-old student, Whitney Adeniran, during inter-house sports activities.
Michael Adeniran, the father of the deceased, in posts making the rounds on social media platforms on Saturday night, noted that his daughter died on Thursday at the Agege Stadium, which the school used for its sporting activities.
Adeniran claimed his daughter was hale and hearty when the school picked her up for the activities, saying the school had not said anything regarding the incident.

“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.
