The Lagos State Government has responded to the alleged plans to exhume the corpse of Whitney Adeniran, a 12-year-old student of Chrisland Schools, Lagos, who died during an inter-house sports, in February.
The government said it would oppose any request for the exhumation, adding that it doesn’t want to “further traumatize the deceased’s family.”
This was disclosed in a statement signed Saturday by the Director of Public Affairs of the state’s Ministry of Justice, Grace Alo, noting that “in any event, the circumstances for exhumation under the Coroners’ Systems Law, 2015 do not arise in this case”.
