Magistrate Olabisi Fajana has granted leave to the management of Chrisland Schools, to have access to the toxicology samples of tests conducted on Whitney Adeniran, to enable an independent forensic pathologist’s assessment and evaluation.
The order was issued during the Coroner inquest that was held on Tuesday at the Samuel Ilori Court House, Ikeja District Court 13, Ogba.
The magistrate affirmed that the application for an independent review was served on both the state and the counsel to the family and neither the family nor their counsel filed any counter affidavit to oppose this motion for an independent reevaluation to unravel the truth.
Counsel to the State had earlier applied that the court should order the attendance of the state pathologist at the cost of the A
applicant which the applicant did not object to.
With both the family and Chrisland school’s counsel aligned on this position, the Court, therefore, directed that the consultation by the independent forensic pathologist be carried out within Lagos State and the pathologist of the deceased’s family granted access as an observer during the exercise.
The inquest was adjourned to continue on a scheduled date.
