There were tears as Whitney Adeniran, the 12-year-old student of Chrisland International School, who died on 9th of February 2023 during the school’s inter-house sports activities at Agege Stadium, Lagos State, was buried on Thursday, 2nd of March.
Whitney Adeniran, whose parents said was hale and hearty the morning she was taken in her school bus to the venue of the sporting event, died suddenly at the stadium.
However, the school management in a statement released after her death, said she slumped in “public view and not under any hidden circumstances.”
However, Blessing, the mother of Whitney, debunked the statement in an Instagram live video on Wednesday, saying that an autopsy carried out on her daughter showed she died from electrocution during the school’s sports activities.
“My child was electrocuted to death,” she said before bursting into tears. “They came to my house. I said ‘Mrs Amao, I don’t know how an autopsy is being done, but I have browsed it, and the image is scary.”
Blessing had earlier begged the school authorities to investigate the cause of her daughter’s death as she never wanted to go through the pains of having a pathologist cut open her child.
