The Lagos state ministry of education says only the Chrisland High School in Ikeja is affected by its shutdown order.

The Lagos government on Sunday ordered the closure of Chrisland School in Opebi, Ikeja, over the death of Whitney Adeniran.

NAN reports that Ganiu Lawal, the ministry spokesperson, in a statement on Tuesday, said the order does not affect other schools operated by Chrisland owners.

The statement added that the clarification became necessary to address the anxiety of parents and members of the public on the claim that the school defied the state government order on its closure.

“Chrisland High School, Ikeja, will remain temporarily closed to students and staff to allow unhindered investigations and afford all stakeholders, including parents, students, staff, and friends of the deceased, time to grieve,” the statement reads.

“The regrettable death of Whitney, as reported, is undergoing investigation by the police and relevant agencies of the Lagos state government.”

According to the statement, the findings of the investigation will be made public as soon as it is completed…
