The Lagos State Government, on Sunday, sealed off Dowen College in Lekki over the gruesome death of 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni, who was allegedly tortured by his colleagues for refusing to join a cult.
The death of the 12-year-old has attracted outrage from Nigerians with many demanding justice for the young boy.The school in its reaction to the incident claimed that the deceased sustained injuries while playing football and was given immediate medical attention by its resident nurse. Subsequently, the student complained of having pains in his hip and was attended to again by a doctor and nurse and thereafter taken to his house, the school said.
The victim’s cousin released photos and video evidence, showing Sylvester was bullied and beaten, leading to his death.But a video shared by the family of the boy before his death showed Sylvester in pain.Father of the late student had alleged that the parents of pupils responsible for torturing his son had made arrangements for them to fly out of the country.According to them, it was the best way to honour him and keep his memories alive.
The move by the family caught the attention of Nigerians, who have continued to offer words of support to the victim's parents over his demise.
Close down that stupid school
Who are the investigators, Nigeria police that can be bribed with N50? That's BS. Immediately after the press statement from Dowen College Mgt, next is police starting investigation. The orchestral is debased, we want an external forensic team of journalist justiceforslyvester
Just imagine if this had happened in the 1990's or early 2000's when there was little or no social media.

Despite Lagos Government’s Closure Order Over Pupil’s Death, Dowen College Continues Classes Online | Sahara ReportersThis is despite the Lagos State Government’s order of indefinite closure of the school following the death of 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni (Jnr), a pupil allegedly beaten by colleagues for refusing to join a cult. Online classes? Or more like preparing them for what to say when they’re asked about their school? 🙄 The school is useless and callous. They will learn the power of social media in a hard way. Most of the private schools in Nigeria are owned by the politicians who stole our monies. They continue to exploit through the schools. When issues like this happens, it is difficult to have justice. This schools should be shut down for life. Parents of those guys must be jailed
