The Coroner Inquest to un­ravel the cause of death of a 12-year-old V pupil, Whitney Omodesola Adeniran, who died on February 9, 2023, will commence on April 4.

The Coroner, Magistrate Olabisi Fajana gave the date after enter­taining submissions of all Counsels, who appeared before the Court, sitting in Ogba.

The Counsel to the deceased family, Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, had informed the Court that they were unable to file a witness statement as instructed by the Court at the last adjourned date.

Mr. Falana told the Court that the Magistrate Registry refused to process the enrolling of the wit­ness statement on the grounds that there is no provision for filling of Coroner processes.

The Counsel, who appeared for Chrisland School, Mr. Olukayode Enitan, SAN, and the State Counsel, Mr. Akin George, also corroborated the position of Mr. Femi Falana, seeking the Court’s directives as to how to get their processes filed.

Magistrate Olabisi Fajana in­formed the Counsels that she would get directives from the Chief Magistrate on how to ensure that the processes were filed before the Coroner.

Subsequently, Mr. Enitan, in­formed the Court that he has an application before it, seeking to get samples and materials to carry out an independent evaluation of the autopsy report.

In a counter-reaction, Mr. Falana, who noted that they have not been served, told the Court that the autopsy of the deceased was done in the presence of the school rep­resentatives and other concerned parties.

However, the State Counsel, Akin George, told the Court that what the state received is a letter not an application, and the state would respond at the appropriate time.

Magistrate Fajana, thereafter adjourned the commencement of trial till April 4, and advised all Counsels to ensure that all their processes were filed and confirmed the day before.
