His wife was there at the stadium, but the school did not alert her to the situation while it was happening, according to him. He also claimed that the girl left home hale and hearty when she was picked up from home that day, and he alleges that no one provided the family any explanations.
Adeniran said: “To the biggest shock of my life by 1 pm in the afternoon, I got a call from my wife that she was informed that our daughter slumped at the inter-house sport and she was rushed to the clinic.
“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.”
“My question is what happened to my daughter at Agege stadium? As a father, I demand answers from Chrisland International High School. I am in deep pain and sorrow right now. If you are a father you will understand my pain. My daughter is highly loved by us,” he added.
“Since we started asking this question. The school has been asking us to back down from the autopsy and I know they know their way into the system. I am calling on the pathology department of @lasuth to please be honest with their result. Lagos State government, Nigerian Government, please intervene.”
The homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti Yaba, has been given the case to conduct a covert investigation, according to the public relations officer for the Lagos State Police, Benjamin Hundeyin. The incident was reported at the Pen Cinema Police Station.
In a statement released on Sunday, the school expressed its condolences to the families of the deceased children and stated that it will wait to hear the results of an independent postmortem investigation.
