The father of Sylvester Oromoni (Jnr.), the late 12-year-old student of Dowen College, has reacted to the release of the suspects linked to the murder of the teenager.
He accused the Lagos state government and the Nigerian police of conspiring to cover up the circumstances surrounding the gruesome murder of his son.
Sylvester was said to have been beaten to death by five senior students of the school on November 30, 2020, for allegedly refusing to join their cult.
Two months after, the Lagos State Government cleared five students and five employees of Dowen College accused of complicity in the death of 12-year-old Sylvester.
Reacting to the release of the suspects , in a statement the father of the deceased, Mr Sylvester Oromoni, said the news did not come to him as a surprise after the students were granted bail even before the stipulated time granted by the courts for the police to carry out their investigation.
Oromoni said contrary to the results conducted the autopsy report and legal advice are different from the oral statement from his son before he died and his schoolmates who said he was tortured and given an unknown substance suspected to be poison which led to his death.
He, however, insisted he will not give up and that his family will meet with his lawyers on the way forward.
