The Lagos state police command says it has released the
corpse of Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, the 12-year-old student of Dowen College, to
his family for burial.
Adekunle Ajisebutu, the command’s spokesman, disclosed this
in a terse statement on Friday.
Ajisebutu said the student’s corpse was released to his
family after an autopsy was conducted on him to ascertain the cause of his
death.
He also said the results of the autopsy conducted have not
been released.
“Sylvester Oromoni:
autopsy done. Result is being awaited. Corpse released to family for burial.
Investigation ongoing,” he wrote.
Oromoni died a few weeks ago after he was allegedly attacked
by “some senior colleagues” for refusing to join a cult group.
The student’s father had disclosed that his child was beaten
and fed with liquid substance.
But the school had dismissed the claim, alleging that he
only sustained injuries while playing football with his colleagues.
The Lagos state government thereafter ordered an indefinite
closure of the school while launching an investigation into the incident.
Nigerians have continued to demand justice for the deceased
on social media platforms.
The parents of the student had also employed the services of
Femi Falana, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), as the lawyer for the case
against Dowen College.
