Whitney’s Death: Fajana Cautions Against Actions To Delay Conclusion

Afimag.com –

The Corona presiding over an inquest to root out the circumstances behind the death of Chrisland International School’s pupil, Lagos, Mrs. O. Fajana, has advised the school management and parents of the deceased against actions that could lead to delay of conclusion on the matter.

Fajana in a sitting on May 09, 2023, cautioned against asking unnecessary questions by the counsels of both parties, saying it would delay the conclusion of the inquest.

Recall that Whitney Adeniran died on February 09, 2022, during the school’s inter-house sports held at the Agege Stadium, Lagos.

The Corona, however, stressed the need for the parties in the suit to abstain from any actions that could prolong the inquest, suggesting that demonstrations be done by a doctor, not Mr. Michael Adeniran, the father of the 12-year-old student, currently being cross-examined.

According to her, “The witness is not a medical practitioner, a doctor will be a better person to demonstrate using pictures of the deceased person.”

Fajana who reacted to a request by Mr. Olukayode Enitan, one of the school’s counsel, seeking the picture of the student posted on social media by her father after her death, said the more relevant the questions, the faster the inquest would be.

She asked Lagos State counsel, Mr. A. A. George, to get a picture of the deceased student from the investigative police officer and tender it in evidence so that Enitan could request it.

She, however, adjourned the matter until May 15, 2023, for further hearing.
