The father of Sylvester
Oromoni Junior, the late student of Dowen College, has continued the quest for
justice, two years after his son’s passing.
Oromoni Junior died in
November 2021 after he was alleged to have been beaten by five of his
colleagues.
Dowen College dismissed
the claim, alleging that the boy sustained injuries playing football with his
friends.
Oromoni’s father told
TheCable on Thursday that the corpse of the deceased boy is still in the morgue
after two years.
“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 thirty years to achieve
it,” the bereaved added.
“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.”
Sylvester Oromoni
Junior died on November 30, 2021.
In January 2022, an
initial autopsy declared that Oromoni died of “acute lung injury due to
chemical intoxication” but the result was later discredited.
The department of
public prosecution (DPP) in Lagos released a second result ruling that Oromoni
died naturally.
The case has been in
court since 2022 and the bereaved family is vowing to pursue the matter up to
the apex court.
Oromoni’s mother has
said that her son had no health challenges before the Dowen incident.
