There have been a variety of reactions to the death of Whitney Adeniran, a 12-year-old female student at Chrisland School, during the school’s inter-house sports competition.
The Quest Times reports that Michael Adeniran, Whitney’s father, had taken to social media on Saturday night to demand a probe into the death of his daughter, calling on the Lagos State government and the police to intervene in the matter.
In response to the devastating news, Twitter users wondered why Chrisland Schools is usually in the headlines for something unpleasant, while some criticized parents who continue to send their children to the school.
A select few on the other hand, backed Chrisland, saying the school had no hand in Whitney’s death
Here are some reactions gathered by The Quest Times
@tosinolaseinde If your child/ward attends Chrisland, pls is there any reason why you haven’t removed them yet?
@Tee_Classiquem1 I’m not trying to blame the victim but why are Nigerian parents still taking their kids to Chrisland despite all the controversy that is surrounding that school? Btw how can a school that is receiving almost 1M naira as tuition fee not have a proper first aid service?
@crackheadxtra Chrisland again? I went to a military school and through out my stay there, despite all the gbasgbos not once has a parent come to pick up their child’s corpse. What is happening in such an expensive private school? No ambulance? No medical personnel? During inter-house sports?!
@the_rebeccah If you’re still sending your kids to Chrisland after all the bad news they’re known for, anything wey your eyes see take am like that!
@ronaldnzimora I stopped having pity for Nigerians who refuse to punish bad businesses and service providers when they get hurt. Acting as if they’re better. Chrisland Schools has REPEATEDLY shown they dont care about the children put in their care yet people still enroll their children there
@sezuIY I no sure say i don read any positive news about this chrisland before
@_SLYTAUREAN A school hired a SAN to defend a rapist teacher, Students uploaded child porn, and the teachers tried to cover it up, you still left your children in that school. You people seem to have a need to experience that chrisland school first hand before you learn your lessons. Toh!
@alpacino841_ Pushing it on chrisland that the school killed the child is not fair for real! It’s just an unfortunate incident that have them in this situation! It’s a very sorry situation and I pray God consoles the parent ! It’s just so sad! However I think the parents should allow autopsy.
@gentle_papii It’s quite important to find out the facts before tweeting something like this. Accusing Chrisland School of murder when you don’t even know the full story or have the facts… That’s too low abeg
@Marthasexxy It’s not a fair time for everyone directly involved in this. Moving forward May her soul rest in peace. Amen.After reading Chrisland school official statement, it’s safe to say the school don’t have a hand in her dead. She slumped by the eyes not hidden place. It just sad.
