The father of late Sylvester Oromoni, a 12-year-old pupil of Dowen College, Lekk Lekki, Lagos, who died in controversial circumstances, on Wednesday wept over the delayed justice for his son
The late Oromoni Jnr had reportedly died on November 30, 2021, at a private hospital in Warri, Delta State following health complications.
The news of his death went viral following a social media post by his cousin, Perry Oromoni, who alleged that some senior pupils of the college beat him up in his hostel because he refused to join a cult.
But the school denied the claim, stating that the boy complained of leg pain following an injury he sustained while playing football.
A coroner inquest was set up to look into the circumstances surrounding the death.
“As the father of the deceased, I cannot be tired or discouraged from pursuing justice, as I have promised my son to get him justice, even if it will take 30 years to achieve it.
“Thursday, November 30, 2023, makes it two years since the demise of my son and the body is still in the morgue, yet to be buried.
“May the soul of Sylvester Oromoni (Jnr.) and all departed souls rest in perfect peace. Amen.”
