ASABA/Nigeria: After years of public outcry and demands for transparency, the eagerly awaited findings of the investigation into the untimely death of Sylvester Oromoni Jr. are set to be revealed to the public.
According to the information available, the long-awaited finding s of the investigation into the untimely death of Oromoni Jr. are scheduled to be disclosed to the public on Monday, April 15, 2024, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
It could be recalled that the tragic incident, which occurred on November 30, 2021, shook the entire nation to its core when 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni Jr., a student at Down College in Lagos, succumbed to injuries sustained in an alleged attack by senior students, of the school.
The death of Oromoni sparked widespread outrage and increased calls for accountability within Nigeria’s educational institutions.
In response, the Lagos State government swiftly shutdown the school and launched a coronery inquest to investigate the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident, a process initiated in January 2022.
Throughout the inquiry, the Oromoni family, backed by the Human Rights Lawyer Chambers of Femi Falana (SAN), has steadfastly pursued truth and justice.
Their unwavering resolve was reechoed during Oromoni Jr.’s burial on Saturday January 27, 2024, where his father, Sylvester Oromoni Sr., reiterated the family’s dedication to seeking justice at all costs, not only for their son but also for all victims of negligence within the nation’s educational institutions.
As the nation awaits in anticipation of the inquiry’s findings, the Oromoni family has issued a call for national solidarity, urging Nigerians to unite in prayer for them. They hope that the revelations stemming from the inquiry will reveal the true circumstances surrounding Sylvester Jr’s death and will further institute accountability and reforms within Nigeria’s educational system.
