Three students of the Dowen College, Lekki Lagos are currently assisting the police in their investigation into the death of Sylvester Oromoni junior, a 12-year-old student of the college.
The Lagos State commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, made the revelation during a Channels Television programme on Tuesday, December 7, 2021.
Odumosi who did not give the identities of the minors, said they are part of the five students who had been mentioned by Sylvester on his death bed.
The police boss explained that the Command is set to go for the post mortem of the body in Delta state to ascertain the cause of death, and assured that police authorities in both Lagos and Delta States are keenly interested in the outcome of the investigation to unravel the mystery behind Sylvester’s death.
Meanwhile, the Oromoni family has hired the firm of Femi Falana (SAN), a foremost human rights lawyer and activist, to prosecute its case against the institution over the death of their son.
In a letter that has gone viral and is believed to be written by Falana to the office of Lagos State’s Chief Coroner, requested an inquest into the circumstances leading to the death of his client’s child.
The letter was dated December 6, 2021, signed by Taiwo Olawale, and addressed to the chief coroner, High Court of Lagos State.
