The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, has
said that 12-year-old Silverster Oromoni, died a natural death.
Odumosu made the statement while addressing journalists at
the command headquarters in the Ikeja area of the state on Friday.
He said the final results of the post mortem and toxicology
examination conducted both at Warri and Lagos agreed that the deceased died a
natural death.
The CP added, “For purpose of clarification, it is pertinent
to convey to members of the public in simple terms, the commentary/submission
of Dr SS Soyemi, the consultant pathologist who led a tear of pathologists to
carry out the autopsy. He declared and I quote:
“Sylvester Oromoni Jr, a 12-year old student of Dowen
College, Lekki, Lagos, reportedly died on November 30, 2021, at a private
hospital in Warri, Delta State. It was alleged that the deceased was physically
assaulted and poisoned in the school prior to death. The first autopsy was done
in Warri on December 2, 2021. Following an order for a second autopsy, the body
of the deceased was brought to Lagos for a second autopsy.
“Our findings at the
second autopsy include marked pallor of organs, pneumonia (infection of the
lungs), infections of the liver and kidneys as well as the heart. These
infections emanated from the ankle infection described earlier in the report.
Microscopic sections also confirmed these findings.
“Death was caused by Septicaemia following infections of the
lungs and kidneys arising from the ankle wound. No evidence of blunt force
trauma in this body. The findings in the oesophagus and stomach are not
compatible with chemical intoxication. Death, in this case, is natural.”
