The parents, while expressing deep sadness over the unfortunate incident that led to the death of Oromoni, prayed for strength for the grieving family of the 12-year-old deceased student, whose circumstances of death have caused outrage on the social media.
Recall that the father of the deceased boarding student had alleged that the Junior Secondary School 2 student died from the injuries sustained during an assault by five of his colleagues who wanted to initiate him into cultism but the school claimed he died after sustaining an injury during a football match.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, on Tuesday, said three students are currently in police custody for alleged assault on Oromoni while two are at large. In a statement by the Parents Forum titled, “Sylvester Oromoni’s Death: Dowen College Parents Mourn”, the parents urged the school management and other stakeholders to “fully cooperate with the authority in the ongoing investigation.”
“While we would have loved to bring Sylvester back if humanly possible, unravelling the cause of Sylvester’s death and bringing whoever was responsible or might have contributed in whatever way to book, will not only bring this unfortunate incident to closure for the family, but this will also serve as a deterrent to others in all schools in Nigeria.
