    Chrisland: Court set date to rule on admissibility of evidence

    Justice Oyindamola Ogala of Ikeja High Court, on Thursday, adjourned until May 2 to rule on the admissibility of treasury receipts used for the Agege Stadium where the 12-year-old Chrisland School student, Whitney Adeniran, allegedly died.

    This position was reached by Ogala following arguments and counter-arguments on the admissibility of the exhibits identified by the prosecution witness, Mr Yakubu Jubril, a social worker at the Ministry of Youth and Social Development.

    During the continuation of cross-examination by the third defence counsel, Mr Olukayode Enitan, (SAN), the witness was asked to identify some documents he claimed to be government treasury receipts.

    The learned silk informed the court that the documents were dated Nov. 7 2018, Jan. 8, 2020, Sept. 26, 2016 and Jan. 9, 2023, which were payments for use of the Agege Stadium.

    The witness identified them as documents from the Lagos State Government Youth Sport and Social Development.

    However, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Dr Babajide Martins, objected that the witness was not the maker of the documents.

    The third defence counsel, however, argued that they were treasury receipts for the use of Agege Stadium by Chrisland School.

    He said the documents were relevant because the Lagos State Government collected payments for the use of the facility.

    Other defendants counsel aligned with the senior advocate’s submission.

    Counsel to Chrisland School, (fifth defendant),  Mr Ajibola Ariba, argued that the evidence must be relevant to the issue.

    Ariba said the officer of the Lagos State Government identified the documents.

    The witness, while responding to the question asked by the third defence counsel, told  the court that the school did not report the incident at the station when it happened.

    He added that apart from the Ministry of Education, the police, safety commission and Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team  needed to know about the incident.

    The witness also admitted before the court that all facilities rendering services to children must report serious occurrence of event.

    The Lagos State Government on March 31, 2023, charged Chrisland School Ltd. Opebi, its principal and vice principal and two others with the killing of Whitney.

    Those charged alongside the school are Ademoye Adewale (a cotton candy vendor), Kuku Fatai, Belinda Amao (Principal) and Victoria Nwatu.

    Chrisland: Late student’s mother testifies before court

    Mrs. Blessing Adeniran, mother of a late student of Chrisland Schools, Opebi, Lagos, on Wednesday, testified at the trial of the school and four others for involuntary manslaughter.

    The bereaved mother testified before an Ikeja High Court.

    She was led in evidence by Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions, Dr Adewale Martins, and cross-examined by defence counsel including Chief Richard Ahonaruogho (SAN).

    Lagos State Government, on March 31, 2023, charged Chrisland Schools, its principal and vice principal, and two others with the killing of the student.

    The 12-year-old student was allegedly electrocuted on Feb. 9, 2023, during the school’s inter-house sports at the Agege Stadium, Lagos State.

    Those charged alongside the school are Ademoye Adewale (a cotton candy vendor), Kuku Fatai, Belinda Amao (Principal), and Victoria Nwatu.

    The defendants were arraigned before Justice Oyindamola Ogala.

    During her cross-examination by Ahonaruogho,  the bereaved mother said that she did not know the effects of combination of Nitrazepam and Amitriptyline drugs.

    The drugs were mentioned in a report by  Inland Specialist Hospital (Exhibit PW1 (B)) before the court.

    The report is dated Feb. 16.

    The drugs were prescribed for the late student on Jan. 20, 2023, by Inland Specialist Hospital, when the witness and her husband took the deceased to the hospital for treatment.

    The witness said that the school principal had called her on the same day and told her that her daughter was ill and having difficulty in breathing.

    “I called my husband to inform him because I was at a gym. He picked her from school and took her to the hospital, and he said I should join them there.

    “I went to the hospital and met my daughter and her dad playing a game with his phone, and she seemed fine to me. I said they like going to the hospital, and we laughed,” she testified.

    According to the witness,  when her daughter’s vitals signs were checked at the hospital, the doctor told her parents that she was alright,  and asked if she had examinations in school that could warrant mild anxiety, but the parents told the doctor that she was rather preparing for inter-house sports.

    The witness said that she did not know what the drugs were meant to treat.

    Ahonaruogho had asked if she was aware that the drugs were meant to treat panic disorder, severe anxiety, and insomnia, and the witness answered in the negative.

    She told the court that she was mourning her daughter and did not consider finding out any effects of the drugs.

    When asked if she was told at the Agege Central Hospital and Diagnostics Ltd. that her daughter died possibly due to cardiac arrest, the witness said that she was told.

    The late student was reportedly taken to the hospital from the stadium when she fell.

    Ahonaruogho asked the witness if she was also told that there was possible electrocution of the student.

    She replied in the negative.

    The counsel told the witness that Nitrazepam was meant to treat panic disorder, severe anxiety and insomnia, while Amitriptyline was to treat depression.

    He asked the witness if she knew about the facts, and the witness said that she did not know.

    The counsel said that combination of the drugs administered especially on a young person could result in death.

    He asked if the witness was aware.

    She said: “I do not know.”

    The counsel also asked if the deceased had visited other hospitals before Inland Specialist Hospital.

    The witness said that, apart from the hospital she was born, she only visited one other hospital for eye checkup.

    Ms Bimpe Ajegbomogun, counsel to Ademoye Adewale, asked the witness if she was in charge of administering the drugs prescribed for the late student, and she responded, ”Yes.”

    Meanwhile, the witness told the court that on the morning of Feb. 9, 2023,  the deceased made breakfast.

    The counsel asked if the witness was aware of a Snapchat group known as ‘Housewives of Lagos’ which the deceased was a member.

    She also asked the witness how she knew about it.

    The witness said: “On Feb. 11, 2023, I had not slept since Feb. 9, 2023; so, my husband asked me to try and get some sleep; otherwise, I might collapse.

    “I went to bed and placed my phone and that of my daughter beside me.

    “Her phone started buzzing with incoming messages, and I called my husband to take the phone because I had severe headaches.

    “The phone was locked; so, he asked who knew the password.

    “My younger sister said she knew, and opened the phone. That was how he saw  messages in which members of the group were discussing about how she was electrocuted.”

    Ajegbomogun asked if her husband was the first person who mentioned that their daughter died of electrocution.

    The witnesss replied in the negative.

    Earlier,  Martins, who led the witness in evidence, asked her how she got to know that her daughter fell.

    Martins also asked her what actions she took.

    The witness told the court that she went to the stadium and did not see her daughter participate in any of the sports.

    She said that she consequently got worried and began to search for her, adding that the search led her to Agege Central Hospital and Diagnostics Ltd. where she found her lifeless body.

    The judge adjourned the case until Thursday  (Jan. 25) for continuation of cross-examination of the witness.

  • My daughter didn’t die in hospital – Late Chrisland School student’s father testifies

    My daughter didn’t die in hospital – Late Chrisland School student’s father testifies

    Mr Michael  Adeniran, father of a late student of Chrisland Schools, Ikeja, on Monday told an Ikeja High Court that his daughter died in a stadium during the school’s inter-house sports.

    Adeniran told the court that he was informed by the school’s nurse that his daughter, aged 12, was already dead in the stadium before she was taken to a hospital.

    He said that the nurse told him that the daughter’s eyes were already dilated but she could not pronounce her dead because she was not a doctor.

    Lagos State Government had on March 31, 2023, charged Chrisland School Ltd., Opebi, and its principal, vice principal, and two others for the death of Adeniran’s daughter.

    The 12-year-old student was allegedly electrocuted on Feb. 9, 2023, during the school’s inter-house sports at the Agege Stadium, Lagos State.

    The defendants were arraigned before Justice Oyindamola Ogala.

    Those charged alongside the school are Ademoye Adewale (a cotton candy vendor), Kuku Fatai, Belinda Amao (Principal), and Victoria Nwatu.

    The defendants are standing trial for involuntary manslaughter and reckless and negligent acts.

    While being cross-examined on Monday, Adeniran who is the first prosecution witness, said that he could not remember anybody informing him that oxygen was administered on his daughter at the hospital she was taken to.

    He was led in evidence by counsel to Chrisland Schools, Mr Bolaji Ayorinde (SAN).

    When asked if the student was absent from school on Feb. 2, 2023, due to illness, Adeniran replied, “She was absent from school, but she was not ill.”

    The witness said that, on Jan. 20, 2023, the school called his wife (the deceased’s mother) and informed her that Whitney was ill.

    He said that his daughter was then taken to Inland Specialist Hospital where a doctor prescribed drugs for her.

    He testified that he got to know the name of the drugs from the doctor’s report obtained from the hospital and dated Feb. 16, 2023.

    Adeniran listed the drugs as Nitrazepam and Amitriptyline.

    When asked if he was informed by the Agege Central Hospital and Diagnostic Ltd. that his daughter died of cardiac arrest, the witness said that he was informed that she died of cardiac arrest.

    The witness, however, told the court that he could not remember if the school’s nurse mentioned anything about administering oxygen or cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the deceased.

    “The nurse said she tried all she could but my daughter  had already died before being taken out of the stadium.

    “She said her eyes had already dilated, but  she could not pronounce her dead because she was not a doctor,” he said.

    Adeniran had testified before the court on May 25, 2023.

    Justice Oyindamola Ogala adjourned the case until Jan. 24 for a continuation of the cross-examination of Adeniran.

  • Chrisland Tragedy: Experts proffer solutions to safety in schools

    Chrisland Tragedy: Experts proffer solutions to safety in schools

    By Debo Oladimeji

    The Project Lead of Schoolrun Academy ably led by Dr. Bisi Esuruoso for Safe Schools Lagos (SSLAG) has said that the only way to ensure security in our schools and prevent a recurrent of the unfortunate incident that led to the death of Desola Whitney Adeniran a 12 –year-old girl of the Chrisland Schools at Agege Stadium on February 9 during inter-house sports bis for every staff of schools in Lagos State to be safety conscious and put safety measures in place.

    Speaking in Lagos during a Capacity Building Conference (CBC) on Safety for school teams (Heads and Managers) organised by SSLAG for schools she said risk cannot be eradicated but we can mitigate it. She said that it is important for schools to have defibrillators to prevent such a tragedy from happening in future.

    “And you must have staffers that are trained to handle it. You must have a register for it so that other people can use it as well.”

    She recalled that an emergency rescue plan which Chrisland would have had would have saved the situation. “If it had taken up the SSLAG compliance plan, the trips would have been covered and they would have had an ambulance from emergency rescue Africa. When that incident happened they would have had prompt attention because there would have been paramedics on ground that would have responded immediately.”

    “How do we mitigate risks? It comes from awareness, knowledge and structure. I tell my staff that safety starts for organization, structure. When you are under pressure it is your structure that will make you stand or cope. That is why CBC that you are attending today is for everybody.”

    She explained that members of the school community need to understand that Safety is very important in schools.

    “Audit has started in some schools this week. We will ensure that the school are compliance to all the 20 Lagos State Safety 1Commission standard. We have 12 of the safety standard for day schools, 8 for the boarding schools. Don’t tell me that the fact that you are a day school, you don’t know need to know about the boarding requirements.”

    She explained that when they are on any trip that may take two to three days out of the school is similar to boarding. “That is boarding. What happened in Christland would not have happened if they understood the boarding requirements. In England when students are on any 2trip you cannot board them in an hotel. Hotels are for adult from 18-2 years and above.”

    She regretted that most schools in Nigeria have free period in their time table and they allow children to learn on their own. “It shows they are negligence. Because children misbehave when they are alone.”

    She said that when they go to schools for audit they are not looking for physical things they are looking for hidden curriculum. “There is the seen curriculum and the hidden curriculum. The hidden curriculum are the things that people don’t see that is the norm. And you will know. It will not take me five minutes to know whatever is going on in any school.”

    “Excursion is part of their learning. We appreciate that. But things must be done properly. An incident happened in stadium we need to beam the search light on the stadium. Not just the school alone. Up till now nobody has gone after the tour operator. Somebody arranged that trip for Chrisland. That person is somewhere and Chrisland is taking all the blames.”

    Dr Kayode Solomon said that abroad defibrillators are very common. “If you walk into any airport you will notice that they have provisions for it. It is a reflective something. We encourage schools to have them but let me advice don’t just buy it from anywhere because most times people will sell to you what might just become useless to you very soon. Can you replace the parts? The parts have expiring dates, can it be managed here and all of that. How to use a defibrillator is part of what we do in our training.

    He said that if there is an emergency in your school what do you do? ”Let me tell you what most people do. They pour water. Somebody would have said pour water during the Agege incident. If the girl could talk they would have told her to drink water. It is not just Nigeria thing but it is a general thing. We say water has no enemy.

    “One thing we need to do for schools is to create awareness. Let there be awareness of what to do in an emergency. You must be able to identify those who have training in your environment and let those people take the lead of what to do. Not just anybody. Sometimes you make assumptions. What people do in an emergency is what is at the back of their minds. What their grandmother told them or what they watch in home videos. A child just has a seizure, many times how you handle the situation will determine life or death. When you have a simple seizure and your nanny now pour water and in the process the person drown in his own vomit. Life is so delicate there is a period in time when intervention will work. For few minutes or seconds after which no matter what you do nothing will do except a miracle. All these things don’t have scientific backing those are the things you should not do.

    “What most times killed seizure patients is what is called post seizure sleep. If they are not placed in a proper position that can lead to death. While you are doing superman, causing injuries the real job you should do you now leave them causing the person to die. Knowledge is power and we need to have requisite knowledge. Let us expose our minds to some of these information that are available online. We need to reorient ourselves. Many of the things they do in those home videos are just wrong.”

    A staff of Lagos State Safety Commission, Mrs Osokoya Ajoke said that one of the things she will like the participants to take home is the fact that they need to be safety conscious in whatever they do in their schools.

    “They have to ensure that safety should come first in their list. They need to ensure that those children under their cares are well taken care of not just the curriculum aspect alone but the safety aspect is very paramount. Then they need to ensure that they don’t because some other agencies are coming to their schools reject our audit team. What people are coming to do in their school is different from what Lagos State Safety Commission is coming to do. We have our mandate they also have their mandate. They should allow us to come for their school for safety audit.”

    LASG opposes exhumation of late Chrisland student, Whitney’s corpse

    Lagos State Government said it would oppose the exhumation of the corpse of Miss Whitney Adeniran, the 12-year-old student of Chrisland Schools, Opebi, Lagos, who died during the school’s inter-house sports, in February.

    The government made the disclosure in a statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs in the state’s Ministry of Justice, Mrs. Grace Alo, on Saturday in Lagos.

    The government said that the ministry of justice was aware of an ongoing dialogue about an alleged plan to exhume the body of the student.

    It said that the ministry had yet to receive any official communication requesting the exhumation.

    The government said that it would oppose such a request if and when received.

    “The circumstances for exhumation under the Coroners’ Systems Law, 2015, do not arise in this case.

    “Additionally, it is not our intention to further traumatise the deceased’s family.

    “We are working closely with the police who have given their reassurance that the duplicate case file would be forwarded on March 6 to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions to aid speedy issuance of legal advice,” it added.

    The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a post-mortem report issued by the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital on March 1 about the student revealed the cause of her death as asphyxia and electrocution.

    The student died during Chrisland Schools inter-house sports on Feb. 9 at Agege Stadium, Lagos State.

    Asphyxia is a breathing impairment that occurs when there is insufficient oxygen in the body.

    AUTOPSY: “My daughter was butchered because Chrisland kept protecting their reputation”- Whitney’s mother alleges

    Blessing Adeniran, the mother of 12-year-old Chrisland Schoolgirl, Whitney Omodesola Adeniran, who died on February 9, 2023 during the school’s inter-house sports held at Agege Stadium in Lagos, has said Autopsy has revealed that her daughter was electrocuted.

    Mrs Adeniran said in an Instagram live video on Wednesday that the school made her go through trauma by making her resort to having an autopsy conducted on her late daughter.

    My daughter was butchered for autopsy. She was opened up. They took part of her kidney, liver, stomach contents, blood, brain, and bone marrow. Omodesola was butchered just because Chrisland kept protecting their reputation

    She said, “The autopsy result is out and Desola was electrocuted. My daughter died of electrocution. I have been subjected to trauma for the past two weeks. Tomorrow will make it three weeks my baby died. The school made me think I was crazy They started pushing the narrative of she was sick; she was sickly. They sent letters and publications out.

    “People insulted me and my family. My child was electrocuted to death. I told the school I don’t want trouble. All I want is answers. They came to my house and knelt down.

    “I begged, I pleaded, I said ‘Mrs Amao please, I don’t know how autopsy is being done but I have browsed it and the image is scary. Please my daughter is already dead, don’t make me put her through that, they will butcher her. I beg you in the name of God, you are a mother, help me investigate and find out what happened.

    “She said she doesn’t know. They refused to investigate. My daughter was butchered for autopsy. She was opened up. They took part of her kidney, liver, stomach contents, blood, brain, and bone marrow. Omodesola was butchered just because Chrisland kept protecting their reputation.”

    Whitney’s father, Dr. Michael Adeniran, had earlier claimed, before the autopsy, that his daughter died of electrocution, an allegation the school denied.
