Autopsy has revealed that 12-year-old Whitney Adeniran died of electrocution on February 9, 2023, according to her mother Blessing Adeniran.
Whitney, a student of Chrisland High School, Ikeja, Lagos died during the school’s inter-house sports held at Agege Stadium in Lagos.
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.
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, 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.
