Oga lawyer, I am guessing the school has placed you on retainership on this matter. Damage control on....cast the blame on the patients. Hmmm.

Let's back track to how his liver got enlarged? Was that from the superficial fall? It is well.

In fact, let me not even say anything again on this matter. May God rest Sylvester well, pacify is parents and judge all those involved in his death. Also, my prayer is with parents whose children are still in the school. May God continue to protect them all.

It is fun pointing fingers when you know the dead isnt your child. No parents should have to bury their child like Sylvester's parents....the school owed them the duty of care to ensure their safety. How did his young liver become enlarged!!! May God help us.

You are talking from your own point of bias.

This is a report on happenings at the Inquest except you don't want to know the details and are only interested in mob lynching based on information now being showed by investigation to be questionable.

People who actually want justice on this matter will follow it to know what happened not only to find ways to blame one party.

A child died, an allegation was made, now time for investigation people are trying to stop or discredit the process because it doesn't favor their bias.

Thankfully these are news reports so except you want to sat even the family members of Late Sylvester who testified have been bribed I will invite you to question your own bias.

Like I said this is a report update from an ongoing inquest, questions to how his liver got enlarged will be answered in the course of the Inquest, I will still post here.

Except you are not interested in Justice, you are just interested in being a lynch mob.

socialmediaman:
Your report looks skewed from what I read from the 3 websites you referenced. Where did you get these no 2 and 3 above from? They're different from what TVC news reported below:

You know they say hide something from my people you put it In a book or In this case a long post. Abi you want screen shots?

"Mr Odeworitse revealed that the late Sylvester and his mother had gone to their Church for prayers on November the 29th, before the medical tests were carried out.

They go to Church every Monday for prayers. I saw him in the car upon their return, still in pain, he wasn’t that fit to go to Church.

During cross examination by counsel for the Lagos state government, Seun Akinde, the witness said the parents initially arranged with Dr Owhojede to take their son to the Delta State Teaching Hospital, Oghara for further treatment. But, he added that he was later taken to one Vicar Hospital on November 30, where he was said to have died that day."

FriendsAndFans:
As a writer, i can adjudge the angle the writer of the above post belong to.
He is against the Oromoni family

By simply reporting what is being reported on news media?
There is no opinion here only a daily update so people can follow this case.

This is not a case of for or against but a case to find out what actually happened to Sylvester.

Monday 31st January 2022.


As usual this not an opinion but a summary of the ongoing Inquest as reported by the media.

1. The Lawyers to the Dowen College brought to the courts notice that contrary to the gag order issued to all parties by the Magistrate, the Oromoni family have been granting press interviews and twitting on the case.
Lawyer to Lagos State sought full penalty for the contravention.
The Magistrate expressed displeasure on the action of the family and warned all parties to desist from granting interviews on an ongoing Inquest. He also Stated that he would issue summons to family members contravening the gag order.

2. The Father and Sister of Late Sylvester who had on Friday failed to show up to Testify still failed to show up today.
The reason given for their absence was that His sister was ill and her father is her primary caregiver.

3. The Magistrate expressed displeasure with their absence , stating that the family who had sought the Inquest is now stalling it.

4. The Father had in an interview today claimed that he was not appearing because the other parties had not yet filed their witness depositions however the Magistrate confirmed today that Dowen College has filed all its depositions, the other accused have till tomorrow to file, the Oromoni family have filed 4 of the 7 witnesses. The Magistrate had in an earlier ruling given all parties till 1st of February to file their depositions. Hence the Oromoni family have till tomorrow to file their remaining depositions.

5. Inquest continues tomorrow 1st February.

Please note this is just an update of happenings at the Inquest ( when somebody dies in circumstances that is questioned the process of reviewing cause of death via witnesses and autopsy is known as a Coroners Inquest) as reported by the media and not Judgement or opinions on it.

1. The Family Friend who picked Late Sylvester up from school testified and stated that the family instructed him not to take Late Sylvester to the hospital in Lagos but to bring him to Warri.
2. In Warri a scan was conducted and he was seen to have an enlarged liver, he was referred to General hospital Oghara for further investigation and treatment but instead he was taken home and treated for Malaria under the instruction of the family Doctor. He was later taken to a private hospital the day he died.

3. The Family went with him to Church for prayers even though the Witness who testified opined that he was not looking strong enough to attend the prayers.
4. The Witness who allegedly heard the confession was called to testify and he stated that Late Sylvester told only him and nobody else, the confession wasn't recorded, he said at the time of the recording He claimed Sylvester had already told him.
5. Lawyer to Sylvester's family sought an indefinite adjournment to allow them file witness statements. Lawyers to the Lagos State Government objected and recommended monentary sanctions against the Lawyer to thr family for attempting to waste the courts and public's time with abuse of process.

Laywers to the accused also objected ; They said they will not agree to any adjournment as the truth thy allege is being unraveled and would only agree to an adjournment if the family confesses to framing their clients.
Lawyers to the accused students stated that any adjournment is not in favor of public and justice , that the call for an adjournment was disrespectful and upsetting.

The Coroner Magistrate in ruling on the request for adjournment called it " Vexatious " and ruled that the Inquest will continue on Monday.

This thread is to follow up on the Inquest of the Late Sylvester.
An Inquest is currently ongoing to review all the evidence and testimonies in circumstances surrounding his death.

A Coroners Inquest is a court inquisition into a death where circumstances are not clear; autopsy reports, witness testimonies and evidence are all reviewed by the Coroner Magistrate with the aim of identifying remote and immediate causes of the death.

sisisioge:
What about the account of his classmate who witnessed the attack? Did the boy too lie?

Or the bruises on his body? Couldn't the injury on his knees be as a result of the narrated attack?

Somebody made up a WhatsApp chat and shared but because people wanted to believe it they did.

Anyway it is an opportunity for that classmate to go and give testimony at the Inquest now because Police interviewed all the classmates and they said they only saw him fall playing ball.

The person who posted that story from the " classmate" and the classmate can go and give testimony at the Inquest.

sisisioge:
Hian! Naija police said it is natural death

School too wants to claim the parents were negligent

I sha know say the boy's spirit will hunt all those responsible for his death. As for those parents who still left their children in the school....may God help you!

These witnesses are from the parents ohhh.
In a murder case " natural causes " means he wasnt directly murdered either by poison or external force.

The evidence coming from autopsy and witnesses is showing that the family lied. He had an ankle injury parents neglect to treat it well and that's what killed him. The school can't be blamed for that.

The school should sue the parents after this

Foodqueen:
Na so.

Which Kain witnesses be this ones.

Witnesses from the family. That's the difference between social media and Court, you can say all sorts on social media but when it is court truth will be separated from lies.

Mrkumareze:
Legal battle, its always a difficult task when faced with the duty of providing witness and evidence to prove your points in the court of law.. Sylvester's family may fall out this time

Abi the family was negligent and lied.
The only person who claimed Sylvester confessed to him is now saying he didn't record it and Slyvester didn't tell anybody else.
So far with autopsy no evidence of any bullying.

If this goes the way I see it going the family should be arrested and also sued for damages.

Witnesses from the family at the Coroner's inquest for the late Slyvester testified that though a scan carried out in Warri showed he had an enlarged liver and was referred to a General Hospital for treatment the family still took him home and treated him for Malaria.
The family also took him for prayers.

Slyvesters family lawyers also sought an indefinate adjournment to the case which was resisted by the other Lawyers and thrown out by the Magistrate.
Case continues next week .





Peter Odewo-Oritse, an operations manager at Ken Ben Nig. Ltd., a company in Warri, Delta State owned by the father of late Sylvester Oromoni, said the deceased was not taken to a hospital despite a scan confirming he had an inflated liver.
While testifying before Magistrate Mikail Kadiri during a coroner’s inquest into Oromoni’s death held at the Epe Magistrate Court, Lagos, Odewo-Oritse confirmed the Oromoni family had obtained a scan result from St Louis Hospital, Ekurede, Urhobo, Warri, Delta State, where it was discovered the boy suffered liver enlargement. He told the coroner “they took him home” and not to a hospital.

Responding from the witness box to questions asked by Akande, one of Lagos State Government’s lawyers, he said the test was conducted on November 27, 2021, but the family did not visit a hospital.
He told the court that Oromoni was being treated for malaria by the family, despite the boy complaining of “severe body pain”.
In an earlier statement taken by the police, Odewo-Oritse said Oromoni arrived in Warri on November 26, 2021, and on the instruction of one Dr. Aghogho Owhojedo, he was taken for a scan, but it was not until November 30, 2021 that the family took him to the doctor for treatment.

Oromoni, a 12-year-old student at Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, passed away on the same day he was eventually taken to the hospital.
Earlier, FIJ reported that his guardian, Clifford Tejere, told the coroner that after picking up the boy from school, he did not take him to a hospital but attempted to play soccer on PlayStation 4 with him.
The coroner’s inquiry was ongoing as of press time.
https://fij.ng/article/sylvester-oromoni-had-enlarged-liver-but-was-not-taken-to-the-hospital/

The second witness to testify for the family of the late Sylvester Oromoni Jnr has told the Coroner, Magistrate Mikhail Kadiri sitting in Epe, Lagos who is investigating the controversial death that the 11-year old was treated for malaria at the Oromonis’family home in Warri, Delta State.
Counsel for the family, Andrew Efole led the witness, Peter Odeworitse in his evidence, which has already been documented as his Statement on Oath before the court


At the last sitting on January 21, the first witness, Clifford Tejire has said he went to the deceased’s school, Dowen College on November 23, 2021 to pick him up after he purportedly sustained injuries while playing football.
He also added that though Sylvester Jnr was in great pains and his condition worsened while he was in his care in Lagos, he wasn’t instructed by the parents to take the JSS 2 student to the hospital but to bring him over to Warri.


At the resumed hearing On Thursday, Peter Odeworitse, a family friend and the operations manager of a company, KenBen Nig Ltd owned by the deceased’s father, said upon their arrival in Warri on November 26, 2021, Mr Oromoni called the family’s doctor, Aghogho Owhojede to come and attend to his son, and that he was treated for malaria for three days.
The witness added that a scan and an X-ray were conducted on him, based on the doctor’s instructions on November 29, which later revealed amongst other things that he had an enlarged liver.

They go to Church every Monday for prayers. I saw him in the car upon their return, still in pain, he wasn’t that fit to go to Church.”
The witness was also asked during further cross examination if he knew that the late pupil could have Been showing signs of hallucination or disorientation, which are reportedly among the symptoms of severe sepsis (a serious medical condition caused by the body’s response to an infection) found to have been one of the causes of his death, as stated in the result of the autopsy conducted on him in Lagos. He said he didn’t know about that.


Another counsel, Anthony Kpokpo representing Dowen College, cross examined the witness on the manner he extracted information from the deceased on the alleged torture by some senior students in his school.
“I walked up to him in the car and asked the driver to excuse us. Sylvester Jnr. said five senior students assaulted and tortured him but he only mentioned three names in full (names withheld). I went to tell his mother what he told me and she was shocked.”


But The witness told Lawyer for the Nigerian Bar Association, Bernard Onigah observing the proceedings that he didn’t tell the family doctor about the alleged torture. He also said he recorded a video of the young boy on his way to do the medical tests, as he had already confessed by then, and that it was the mother, Rosemary Oromoni that instructed him to send the video to his school in order to present the the body pains he was feeling.
Mr Odeworitse who said he was at the Oromonis’ Warri home when the deceased was carried into from Lagos , was asked by another counsel, Izuchukwu Ohajinwa, about the boy’s condition when he saw him.

BREAKING NEWS; SYLVESTER OROMONI'S FAMILY SEEKS FOR INQUEST TO BE ADJOURNED INDEFINITELY.

Counsel to the Oromoni's family Mr. Olawanle Taiwo from the firm of messrs Femi Falana SAN applied for the hearing to be adjourned indefinitely. The application was made on grounds that other parties to the proceedings have not filled their witness depositions.
Responding to the application

Mr. Anthony Kpokpo Counsel to Dowen College

I find the application by , Counsel to the Oromoni's family tragic and fatalistic , as there is a pending order of the court with respect to the issue of witness disposition.

Mrs. Ifeoma Esom
It is an attempt to stop the process since the truth is gradually coming out. Except Oromoni's family is now ready to tell the truth that my clients were framed up, then we will agree to their request

Mr. George A.A Counsel to Lagos State Government.
I find the Application to suspend the Coroner Proceedings indefinite loathsome. The court made a directive of the earth.. this as an indication of having gone livid and developed cold feet. The court should visit the erroneous application with punitive monetary sanctions.

Ayi-Ekpeyong Counsel to one of the accused student.

The application is not in the interest of Justice & the public. it is a ploy to stop the proceedings of the court. The application is unreasonable disrespectful and preposterous.

Eze Ajibo counsel to one of the accused student

Urged the court to discountance the application for adjournment indefinitely. He told the court that we are in a voyage of discovering the truth which will set all the party concerned free.

Mr. Akinnimi Olumide. Counsel to one of the accused Student

The process to unmask the truth has been set in motion and a lot of energy has been dissipated.
The eyes of the world is focused on this inquisition and the world is waiting for the out come so time is of the essence.

Responding to the Application The Coroner Magistrate Mikail Kadiri stated that the application is vexatious as the court had ruled on the matter giving parties the 1st of February, 2022 to file all witness depositions. The court ordered all parties to produce their witnesses in court on Monday 31st January 2022.

The court also notified parties that subsequent sitting will hold in Ikeja.

Scam or child trafficking

Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter.

Unsolicited advise, allow her to look and dress like a child, artificial hair and the clothes are too adult for a child. A child should look like a child, she is 3 and you are dressing her up like an adult.

Has she reported to the Police? You have to report crimes not just wail online

You want to stay here and lament till you get a stroke ni? Go to the hospital even if it is a government hospital.

A few days after threatening to release details of debtors he is now being grilled and disgraced. He has been warned.

Good evening everyone , all my efforts were in vain. My parents, four brothers and grandmother denied everything and my sister has refuse to talk about the abuse , she kept worshipping my mum.

Lassa Fever

Legally she can sue for harassment even though the relationship was consensual. It will be a legal battle that will drag you and the organization, she can argue that the she is getting sacked for not being in a relationship anymore.

Moral of the story, stop sleeping with people at work, lines can get blurry

Okortor:
Na pastor wife they do pregnancy test? Wetin do hospital? Lol...well it's all fine n good

A home pregnancy test is simple and fast can be done by anyone and ready in 5 minutes.

You need to speak with a therapist. Go to the closest teaching Hospital or Government hospital and ask to see a social psychologist. You need to get to the bottom of the problem, probably maybe trauma from growing up in lack. Till you find the issue you will keep borrowing.

I will be as brief as possible.
I recently opened a barbing salon shop. Within the area I opened this shop, there's this couple living there. The man does nothing for a living. He's a drunkard. The woman on the other hand sells black market fuel and oil to make ends meet.

They gave birth to 6 children (yes, you heard right). Since I entered that street, I noticed a serious domestic violence going on in that family. The man after drinking, uses his wife and children as punching bags. This is not occasionally. On a daily. I'm seriously disturbed. A little arguement and the man goes straight to the woman's fuel and oil and pours everything away.

Even when he's the one provoking the woman, he goes to the woman's properties and starts damaging everything.

The worst is that no body in the street says anything. They all say they are used to them.
I'm seriously disturbed because the man always threatens to pour fuel on the woman and set her ablaze always.

On many occasions, he carries huge sticks to kill the woman like a snake.
People around always say he can't do it. On my side, I'm really disturbed, because I have seen where domestic violence caused a disaster. I fear that one day, the man might carry out his threats.

Today a serious fight broke out between the man and the wife. The man was beating the last born of the house that's just a year plus like a mad man. The wife couldn't bear it anymore and faced the man. He was beating all of them like animals. Looking for cutlass and 2by2 to use on them. People were passing and didn't even care. I couldn't bear it anymore. He was trying to smash the woman's phone on the main road. One small girl went to rescue the woman and the phone. The way this man flung the lady eeh, that was when I stepped in, collected the phone and told the man that if he tried touching the woman and the children again, I would bury him alive. I was very mad. I asked the woman what he's still doing with the man. Or is she waiting for people to carry her corpse before she flees for her life? The phone is still with me. I'm confused on what to do.

This man needs to be stopped before a disaster strikes. It's just a matter of time. I fear for the woman's life seriously.
What can I do to help the situation guys. I'm really disturbed.

What state is this happening? I will share numbers for organisations that can help.

Other centers

Depending on where you live in Lagos State these are the addresses of the citizen mediation centers.

You can report him there for settlement.

Neverwill:
Please no one should message me again offering a job. I don't need it. Thanks for the job offers in ibadan and one in Benin. Thanks guy's. I won't dignify those that think I'm lying with a response. I don't have to lie for sympathy, I don't know seun osewa to lie in nairaland. I purposely asked him to give me the screenshot after I deleted our chats. No one has to believe me. I owe no one an explanation. It's fine. If you think I'm lying it's ok. I know what happened and I'm finding peace and tonight I would find peace when I tell babe. It's fine.

Ignore the cyber bullies, your post is clearly seeking closure and peace.

Nobody will make up a story and keep apologising , it comes from a place of deep pain and guilt.

Please tell your wife, if you do not tell her one day you may be fall into temptation. The devil thrives when we cover things and choose silence, the ones trying to shut you up are probably abusers themselves

oldtimersince06:
I did. thanks. they only handle legal separation or divorce. A decision I wasn't really ready to make. I have my kids with me now though.

Be safe
