The Lagos State government has finalised plans to file criminal charges against Chrisland School, certain staff members, and a vendor for the death of student Whitney Adeniran.
They would be charged with manslaughter, recklessness, and negligence.
In a statement released on Friday, the Lagos Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Moyosore Onigbanjo, through the Office of the Director, Public Affairs, Lagos State Ministry of Justice, insisted that the suspects would be charged in accordance with Sections 224 and 251 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.

“Information will be filed in accordance with the DPP’s legal counsel.”
On February 9, 2023, it was reported that Adeniran passed away at Agege Stadium during Chrisland’s inter-house sports competition.
Michael Adeyemi Adeniran, the father of the deceased, stated that his daughter was in good health when the school bus picked her up for the event.

In light of the controversies surrounding Adeniran’s death, the Lagos government ordered a coroner’s investigation to determine the student’s cause of death.
The coroner, Magistrate Olabisi Fajana, later disclosed that the coroner’s investigation into Adeniran’s death would begin on April 4.
