Chrisland school principal, others arraigned for manslaughter


In connection with the death of Whitney Adeniran, a 12-year-old student at Chrisland School, Opebi, the Lagos State government on Thursday arraigned the school’s principal, vice principal, and two employees.

Ademoye Adewale, Kuku Fatai, Mrs. Belinda Amao, Nwatu Ugochi Victoria, and Chrisland School Limited were among the school employees arraigned in front of Justice Oyindamola Ogala of the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja.

The state preferred two counts of reckless and negligent acts against the defendants, which bordered on involuntary manslaughter.

While in the dock, the school’s head, Mrs. Belinda Amao, burst in tears as the court and counsel attempted to settle on a date for the beginning of the preliminary.
