The management of Dowen College has appealed to the public to allow Sylvester Oromoni, the late student of college who died in controversial circumstances to rest in peace.
They called on the public to desist from spreading false information against the school over the circumstances that lead to the death of the 12-year-old.
In a statement released on Monday, the school management said they decided to remain silent since his tragic death because they wanted experts, law enforcement agencies, the government and medical authorities do their jobs and unearth the truth about the incident.
In a statement released on Monday, the school said:
“At this point, we respectfully request that all those who have consistently, misguidedly and maliciously pushed false information should desist immediately and allow our dear Sylvester’s soul rest peacefully in our Lord’s arms.
“The longstanding integrity, values and processes the school worked tirelessly to maintain over the past 24 years were unfairly called to question and dragged through the mud since.”
Dowen authorities added that Sylvester was neither bullied nor made to ingest any harmful substance but rather, died from a pre-existing ailment that had not been treated.
They said that, “no bodily harm, no intoxication, but rather that the young boy suffered and died of pre-existing health conditions that had not been treated.”
“Today the truth wins, our faith wins and our integrity wins. We pray that no school or organisation ever has to experience what we have been going through.”
Last week, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu held a press statement where he said that the 2 autopsies carried out on late Sylvester’s body concluded that he died a natural death.
The family of the deceased, his tribesmen and many members of the public, however, disagree.
They maintain that just before his death, the young boy mentioned the names of 5 students who attacked him and forcefully gave him something to drink.
Speaking with Channels TV, lawyer to the family of the deceased, Femi Falana said the first autopsy conducted on late Sylvester showed he suffered acute lung injury due to chemical intoxication.
He disclosed that his team was working on establishing a massive cover up on the part of those who gave the latest report on the cause of death.
