While we deeply sympathize with the family and friends of Silvester Oromoni Jr who was gruesomely murdered in cold blood by his colleagues in Dowen College, Lekki, we have taken it up as a civic responsibility to always update the public on the events following up the trial and prosecution of the alleged killers of the lad and we would never rest our voice nor our pen till the criminals who murdered the innocent child or partook in the death of the young boy are brought to book to face justice no matter how long it may take.
Recall that Junior’s father, Mr. Silvester Oromoni Snr alleged that his son was poisoned as he was forced to drink some poisonous chemicals by his bullies and he was also beaten up by them which eventually led to the death of his son. The management of the school, Dowen college, Lekki, debunked the allegation of Junior being poisoned by his fellow student and beaten up to his death, in the school’s press release they claimed that junior sustained injury while playing football with his colleagues in the school premises, blatantly dismissing the allegation of poison and beating made by junior father.
Well, an autopsy (autopsy is a detailed dissection of a dead person, done to scientifically and medically ascertain the cause of their death or determine why they died) was subsequently conducted to determine (medically and scientifically ) the cause of Junior’s death and the autopsy result corroborated Junior father’s allegation that his young son was forced to drink some poisonous chemical and beaten to his death.

According to the autopsy result, Silvester Oromoni jr died of acute lung injury due to chemical intoxication. This is a clear indication that Junior was in no doubt poisoned by his bullies.
The bullies (5 of them) who were Junior’s fellow students were earlier on arrested by the Lagos police command in connection with the death of Junior but they were subsequently granted bail after their bail conditions were perfected by the families of the accused.
While we sit tight and see how this case unfolds, we believe that justice will definitely take its cause and the killers of the young lad face severe justice to serve as a deterrent to other bullies and killers out there and to provide succor to the family of the deceased. This autopsy report will definitely work in favour of the prosecution in establishing the case of murder against the bullies.
