The Police in Lagos State have warned the general public against engaging in any further protests after the autopsy report on the cause of Sylvester Oromoni’s death has been released.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Oromoni was a student of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, who died after he was allegedly bullied by his fellow students in school.
However, autopsy reports on the deceased recently released and interpreted, absolved Dowen College, staff and students of complicity in the death of the budding young boy.
Since the death of Oromoni, several groups, including an Ijaw group have staged protests at the school gate of Dowen College, with the father of Oromoni saying his child will not be buried until he gets justice.
While speaking with journalists, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu stated that he would not tolerate protests over the outcome of investigations on the death of Oromoni.
Odumosu urged members of the public that are not satisfied with the outcome to seek redress in court.
“Much as we commiserate with the bereaved family on the death of their lovely and promising child, it is advised that the protesters and other individuals or groups who are still aggrieved should go to the law court to seek redress instead of taking the law into their own hands.
“We only investigated criminal aspect, doctors investigated the medical aspect, the Ministry of Education now investigated that other administrative aspect of the school, that was why the school was shut down and still being shut down,” Odumosu said.
The Ijaw Youth Council had on Thursday insisted on getting justice for Oromoni while staging a protest in front of the school, insisting that Dowen College cannot resume when justice was yet to be served on the matter.
The late student is from the Ijaw-speaking part of Delta State.
