octor employed at the Dowen College, Mojisola Bisiriyu, told the coroner, Mikhail Kadiri, on Tuesday that the deceased, Sylvester Oromoni (Jnr), complained of hip pain when he presented himself at the sick bay on November 21, 2021.
Her statement in the ongoing inquest to unravel the circumstance regarding Mr Oromoni’s death contradicts the school management’s claim that the deceased had a leg injury from playing football.
The doctor said he was therefore not taken to the partner hospital (Lifeline Children’s Hospital) three minutes away from the school because his case wasn’t an emergency.
Ms Bisiriyu was the eighth witness to testify in the coroner’s inquest set up in December 2021 by the Lagos State government.
She said that she didn’t notice any leg injury and the deceased didn’t complain of a leg injury.
She said she informed the deceased’s mother about the health status of her child and she (Mrs Oromoni) said the guardian would be coming to pick him.
She said before the guardian came to pick the boy, she had administered pain relief and massaged the part he complained about.
She added that the cases taken to their partner hospital are “serious issues that need urgent medical attention.”
She said that she wasn’t aware that the deceased was beaten and asked to describe his sister’s private parts.

She said the school does medical checks for students upon admission.



“Do you know whether he is suffering from any disease?” Femi Falana, the Oromoni’s lawyer, asked.
“None that I’m aware of,” Ms Bisiriyu replied.
She said that she works on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and was not on duty on November 21 (Sunday) when the deceased came to the sick bay.
She added that the deceased was treated by the resident nurse.
“He told you he fell while trying to pick his bible, is that correct?” Mr Falana asked.

The doctor replied in the affirmative.
She also clarified that she treated Mr Oromoni (Jnr) on November 22.

ⓘ

When Mr Falana asked if she was aware that the deceased was “carried” to the car by his guardian on November 23, the doctor said “he was assisted out of the sickbay,” adding that she advised his guardian to take him to the hospital.
When Mr Falana asked if she gave the guardian a referral letter to a hospital, the school lawyer, Anthony Kpokpo, objected.
He said that the issue of a referral note should not arise because the doctor does not work in a hospital.
But Mr Falana repeated the question and the witness said no.
Mr Falana asked why the deceased was not taken to the partner hospital. The doctor said they take their students there in cases of emergency and if the parent made the demand, adding that some parents have specific hospitals that they want their children to be.
Mr Falana asked “that by the doctor’s assessment, does the deceased’s health status warrant you taking him to the hospital?” The doctor said no.


But it warrant(ed) you asking the parent to take him to the hospital?” Mr Falana asked. Ms Bisiriyu said yes.
“A medical expert informed the coroner that a… dose of antibiotics would have prevented the unfortunate incident? the lawyer asked.

“I cannot answer the question,” the doctor said.
“Are you aware that the deceased was taken home over a twisted tongue in March?” Mr Falana asked.
The doctor said no.

ⓘ

She also said that the deceased’s lips were not scaled at the time he was taken away from the school.

Investigation was not comprehensive – Police

Earlier in the hearing, a police investigator, Bamidele Olusegun, said he questioned four students and they confirmed that the deceased sustained sustaining injuries while playing football and denied that he was forced to ingest a poisonous substance.
Mr Olusegun said that they invited all the deceased’s roommates (seven) but only four showed up, adding that the parents of the others said their wards were going through trauma.
“You have informed the court that you queried four roommates and that the occupants are eight (including the deceased).
“Now you have also informed the court that you interviewed four out of the seven, having not been able to interview the other roommates, your investigation into that allegation is not comprehensive?” The coroner asked.
“It is not my Lord,” the police officer said.
“Did you consider inviting roommates from the adjoining rooms, from the left and the right?” The coroner asked.
Mr Olusegun again said that the wards’ parents didn’t grant the request because they were still traumatised by the death.
The coroner has adjourned the inquest to February 28.

A sealed Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos

Sylvester Oromoni: Detained Dowen College students freed before conclusion of Investigation – Police

The students were granted bail before the expiration of a 30-day remand order.

ByOluwakemi Adelagun

 

 February 22, 2022

 

2 min read

The students were granted bail before the expiration of a 30-day remand order. The police officer who investigated the controversial death of Sylvester Oromoni Jnr on Monday told a coroner that the investigation of the five senior students of Dowen College were not concluded before they were released.
Mikhail Kadiri, the coroner, is conducting an inquest to look into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr Oromoni Jnr in December 2021.
Bamidele Olusegun, a police officer, attached to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, said the students were released despite a protest letter issued by the Lagos Police Command to the chief judge of the state seeking a revocation of the bail.
The students were granted bail before the expiration of a 30-day remand order.
A portion of the letter that was read by the witness in the court stated: “It came as a rude shock that the investigation was not allowed to be carried out.”
He also said the suspects were not brought back to the station for the conclusion of the investigation.
Mr Olusegun said, during his cross-examination led by Femi Falana, who is representing the Oromoni family, that while the police were recording more statements from the five accused students where they were remanded at the boys’ home in Oregun Lagos, their parents were arguing their bail applications before the chief magistrate that initially ordered their remand.
The letter of protest signed by Fayoade Adegoke, a deputy commissioner of police, dated December 22 is now an exhibit in the matter.




In the police interim investigative report dated December 23, 2021 (another exhibit), the witness said that claims that the deceased was allegedly bullied, tortured by the suspects, and forced to drink an unknown substance were unsubstantiated.

ⓘ

But it included among its findings that a suspect had in 2019 been suspended by the school for inappropriate behaviour which includes spitting on a teacher.



Another senior was also found in 2019 to have been suspended for bullying and physically assaulting another student who has since left the school.
The witness also acknowledged that the school did not reprimand another suspect who beat up the deceased in October 2021 because he was asked to describe the private parts of his elder sister who also schools at Dowen College.
He said that a parent once reported a case of bully against her son by some students at the Maroko police station.



This position was also reflected in an interim legal advice dated December 30, 2021, issued by the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions stating that “There are sufficient facts to establish the alleged offence of criminal negligence against the three staff as well as one Celina Uduak, Mr Adeyemi and Dowen College for failing to address bullying and protect their students.”

The police officer said it couldn’t proceed with prosecuting the school and the indicted staff after a second legal advice issued on January 4, 2022, stated that they would not be charged for the said offence after all, owing to lack of evidence.
The court sitting in Ikeja for the inquest adjourned to February 22 for Dowen College’s, lawyer, Anthony Kpokpo, and others to cross-examine the witness.

Sylvester Oromoni (Snr), the father of the late student of Dowen College, has explained to the court why he thinks there is a “massive cover-up” in the death of his son.
He spoke on Tuesday while responding to Akingbola Goerge, a lawyer representing the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, in the ongoing coroner inquest in Lagos over his son’s alleged murder.
“We have seen a lot of videos on social media and you said eloquently that there is a massive cover-up in this case. Who are those who cover-up, when and how?” The lawyer asked.
Mr Oromoni said: “there is a massive cover-up and it is clearly stated in the police report. A Magistrates’ Court in Yaba requested for 21-days and after 14-days, the boys were granted bail when the police were not done with their investigations.
“When I saw the (former) Commissioner of Police (Hakeem Odumosu), he told me that it was not true that they were not done with their investigation.
“He said that on that day when they said they had released those boys, the courts were not sitting. I then called the Deputy Commissioner of Police. He told me the same thing and told me to give him some time.”
He said Mr Odumosu called him back and told him that they were given 21-days for their investigations and the boys had just spent 14-days in detention.
“They (police) said they were going to write a protest letter. They were already interrogating two of the students so they were taken by surprise,” he said,” he said.
“Do you know the processes involved in the administration of justice regarding children?” The lawyer asked.



”No,” Mr Oromomi said.

Scan

Mr Oromoni said the deceased was taken to church on Monday morning (Nov 29) for a deliverance service – a one-hour service.
He confirmed that his doctor, Owhojede Henry, had ordered that a scan be conducted on the deceased and as of November 29, the scan showed that nothing was found in his stomach.
The lawyer asked: “would you agree with me that whatever the pathologist found in the stomach on the 2nd of December must have come after 29th?
“I don’t agree with him,” he said.

In last week’s hearing, the pathologist, Sunday Soyemi, who conducted the second autopsy, said that a blackish substance was found in the deceased’s intestine but was not tested because there was no facility with the hospital to conduct a toxicology test.

Cult group

Perrison Oromoni (deceased’s cousin) had alleged in a tweet “that five boys beat up the deceased over his refusal to join the cult, is it that he lied,” Ayi Ekpenyong, a lawyer asked.

ⓘ

“I can’t answer you,” Mr Oromomi said.
Before that, the lawyer had asked: “Did he mention that he was beaten because he was asked to join a cult?
Responding, Mr Oromomi said: “he didn’t mention the cult.”
He said he learnt that the deceased was beaten on November 14 in a statement before the court.
“Would you be surprised that one Peter (your employee) and Amanda (daughter) speculated that the deceased was beaten by some students of Dowen college?” Mr Ekpenyong asked.
“I’m surprised,” Mr Oromoni responded.

Mr Oromoni said “those videos were not made in anticipation of his death,” adding that the deceased’s mother made it to use it in “thanksgiving in (the) church to show what he went through.”

Do you have a family budget?

He keeps complaining about drowning in bills.

Do you share financial responsibilities since you work or you let him pay all bills and bring soup money once in a while?

Women who want a traditional man to pay every single bill but a touch or modernity in romance are not being realistic especially in this economy.

Adjust your family budget so the man too can breath and start enjoying life a little.
Prices of items have tripled, salaries have not he will be calculating how money for outing can buy light or pay for water.

It was not nice to ask his friend to take you out, imagine him asking your friend to cook for him.

Sit with him and discuss a family budget, how you can help reduce his burden.
Meanwhile take yourself and your kids out.

PoliteActivist:


What you are imbibing is media propaganda - until you read the official coroner's report OR it's analyzed for you by a disinterested party

PoliteActivist:


Yet the doctor testified they could not provide a bed for his son. Do you think that can happen to owners of Dowen? What is his powerful political appointment and who is his Lagos counterpart?
Besides, use your own common sense. Does that man look to you like someone just putting on a show?

Note how you haven't been able to counter any of the points? Because they are FACTS!

There was no bed in the whole of Delta State. How do I start to debate with somebody who can't differentiate between a Doctor who treated a child and a pathologist who has recanted.

You are earning your keep, thankfully people are actually following the Inquest and not your trolling.
My last response. Spew ignorance to yourself

PoliteActivist:




Respectfully, you people are WRONG! I want to remind you that we don't yet have the official coroner's report.
If sepsis killed like that half of Nigerian villagers will be dead and the rest walking around with peeled lips like the boy's below.
Only chemical ingestion as detected by that first autopsy perfectly explains EVERYTHING. Hence Falana yelling cover up!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VghJx917S70

Reports of the daily Inquest is available, pathologist have also presented presented findings.

PoliteActivist:


Respectfully, you are the one trying to divert from the truth.
Here are things we know for sure:

1) The boy had peeled lips that could not have been caused by sepsis
2) Just before his death, the father and those who were there said the boy told them he was force-fed a chemical and described how the chemical was burning his insides.
3) The first autopsy determined there was indeed chemical and that was cause of death
4) Owners of the school are powers that be who can do and undo
5) Half of Nigerian villagers despite never going to hospitals and always sustaining grievous injuries, don't die of sepsis, or walk around with peeled lips

Those are facts. I haven't added or subtracted anything.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obWkydzkpQw

His father is a powerful political appointee and can hire trolls to do this all day. Keep repeating yourself nobody is buying anymore

HilcomTech:



Are you this ddafft or you are just pretending.

The facts of the case (as established by the court) is that child died because the father refused to take him to the hospital on time.

I suspect he is a troll just trying to divert from the truth coming out. He is just doing copy and paste. Best to ignore

PoliteActivist:






You people are all wrong. If sepsis killed like that half of Nigerian villagers will be dead (they always have serious injuries, yet never go to hospital!).
The boy was force-fed a chemical which was what ultimately killed him. That's the only thing that perfectly explains the peeled lips and results of that first autopsy. By the time of the second autopsy the chemical could have disipated.
Probably no hospital could have saved him.

Ignorance is not attractive.
If the first autopsy was correct I ask again why the family didn't present it as evidence at the Inquest?

If you like when you have your own child leave them at home when they are septic and hope they will survive like village children

PoliteActivist:


You people are so easy to deceive. If sepsis killed like that half of Nigerian villagers will be dead! The boy was fed a chemical which explains the peeled lips, and which was picked up by that first autopsy, and which was what ultimately killed him.

This kind of ignorance leads to death of innocent children. That some children do not die from infections doesn't mean other will survive. The body is different



"Severe sepsis is characterized by organ failure. You must have one or more of the following signs to be diagnosed with severe sepsis:

difficulty breathing
[b]bluish discoloration of the skin, especially lips, [/b]fingers, toes[b][/b]
chills due to a drop in body temperature
decreased urination
dizziness
changes in mental ability
extreme weakness (asthenia)
low platelet count (thrombocytopenia)
abnormal heart functions
unconsciousness"

PoliteActivist:


The boy was force-fed a chemical - which explains the lips and which was what ultimately killed him (as stated by the first autopsy). The chemical could have dissipated by time of the second autopsy

If the first autopsy was not fake why didn't the family present it as evidence at the Inquest?

Are you even aware that the same Pathologist that did the Delta Autopsy has changed his report? I don't know what he and the family did initially to come up with that first report but when he saw the way facts were coming out he recanted and is trying to save his career because he will surely face disciplinary action by MDCN after this. If the accused family didn't have money to do an independent autopsy that fake one would have sent innocent boys to jail.

You can find his updated report here. Nobody forced any chemical down his throat.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eIhC7-7FeUA5YT5wlSwzPSLg7mD3OLQd/view?usp=drivesdk

HilcomTech:


The courts can only work with facts presented to them. A lot of the discussions about the case were more emotional than factual.

The father was the major cause of the innocent child.

The Family and Falana ran a huge trial on social media now they are in court and cannot provide any evidence to all the claims they made on social media even even autopsy they planted on social media from Delta they couldn't use it in court, Falana didn't even want it mentioned.

They never wanted justice just a social media mob against Dowen and the 5 boys

PoliteActivist:


Wise man my ass. My friend there is something VERY STRANGE INDEED about this case. Only a simpleton will refuse to see that. See Falana interview below.
Google the symptoms of sepsis.
Did sepsis cause the lips below?? Did sepsis give Sly's father names of those students whom he said Sly mentioned. Was it sepsis that said no football was played durring that period. Was it sepsis that performed the first autopsy? Was sepsis the students that said they tried to inform school authorities that the boy was beaten? Was it sepsis that hired Falana to get justice (strange act for a guilty person!).
Too many things being heaped on this poor SEPSIS!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VghJx917S70

The Father himself said yesterday that the boy had marks on his body when he was picked from school, all the pictures they posted was from when his condition worsened at home.

The mistake the school made was not taking a picture of the boy when they handed him over to his relative .

Falana should use the same energy in court, he is not representing the family well at all

duro4chang:
The autopsy results did not say it was the injuries that killed the boy.

inoki247:
Home treatment is not against the constitution bak den sef if u fall from tree na house dem go treat u we hardly go to d hospital....


Na wen d case start to dey worst which is rare dat we always go to the hospital....


So far the injury was not caused from home they still have a case dey just try to use the olden days techniques of we treating ourselves from home...

Shoodboi:
The delay in taking Sylvester to a hospital may explain how he died, but it doesn't explain how he got the injuries in the first place.

The Father in his Testimony said the boy didn't have any injuries on his body when he was picked from school.

He said Mr Tejere did not notice any sign of beating on the body of the deceased and that no swollen spot was noticed on the ankle of the late student, where it was alleged by the school that he had sustained a football injury.
The witness noted that a full body x-ray was not conducted by the family when he came home from school.
“There was an x-ray conducted on the part the school wanted us to do, which was the legs down. He was taken to a diagnostic centre,” Mr Oromoni Snr said.
The father of the deceased revealed that his son was not taken to the hospital on Nov. 24, 2021 by the family and that he arrived Lagos from Delta at 6.00 p.m. on Nov. 25, 2021 after he was alerted by his family that his son was in a critical state.

Sylvester Oromoni: Father confirms Dowen College student was not taken to hospital

Mr Oromoni alleges that his son was bullied and forced to drink an obnoxious substance.


February 14, 2022



Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, the late Dowen College Student who was alleged by his family to have suffered injuries as a result of bullying by five senior students of the college was not treated at a hospital.
Sylvester Oromoni Snr, the father of late Oromoni Jnr made the revelation on Monday before an Ikeja Coroner’s Inquest while being cross-examined by the counsel to one of the accused students, Godwin Omoaka (SAN).
Mr Oromoni`s testimony confirmed a key finding of a PREMIUM TIMES investigation.
The witness told the inquest that his son was treated at home in Warri, Delta, after the Oromoni family doctor, Dr Aghogho Owhojede, said there was no private ward available in his hospital.
He gave a timeline of events from when Oromoni Jnr was brought home from school by his guardian, Clifford Tejere, on Nov. 23, 2021 from school.
He said Mr Tejere did not notice any sign of beating on the body of the deceased and that no swollen spot was noticed on the ankle of the late student, where it was alleged by the school that he had sustained a football injury.
The witness noted that a full body x-ray was not conducted by the family when he came home from school.
“There was an x-ray conducted on the part the school wanted us to do, which was the legs down. He was taken to a diagnostic centre,” Mr Oromoni Snr said.
The father of the deceased revealed that his son was not taken to the hospital on Nov. 24, 2021 by the family and that he arrived Lagos from Delta at 6.00 p.m. on Nov. 25, 2021 after he was alerted by his family that his son was in a critical state.


He revealed that after he arrived Lagos, he took his son back to Dowen College, arriving at the school at 7. 00 p.m. to pack his belongings.



He said on Nov. 26, 2021, he left for Warri, Delta, with his son and arrived in the evening and that Oromoni Jnr was not taken to the hospital on that day.



He said on Nov. 26, 2021, he left for Warri, Delta, with his son and arrived in the evening and that Oromoni Jnr was not taken to the hospital on that day.
“On Nov. 26, 27 and 28 2021, he was treated in my house on doctor’s directives.
“On Nov. 29, he was taken to St Louis Laboratory for a scan. We were referred by the doctor to go there.
“I was not there on that day because I had rushed to my house in Asaba, Delta to pick up something and I came back the next morning, which is Nov. 30, 2021.
“He died on Nov. 30, 2021; I was already in Warri when he died. I was in the hospital when the doctor confirmed to us that he did not make it,” he said.

The witness further revealed that after Oromoni Jnr was confirmed dead, the family wanted to bury him immediately.
“From the clinic, they were taking him for burial. I called them and they brought him back in the Hilux that they were using to convey him and they parked in front of my gate.



“The police came and took pictures and videos of the body and after that they asked me to take him to the mortuary and not bury him,” he said.
Following the revelation of the witness, Mr Omoaka requested that a series of interviews Oromoni Snr had granted to the press (Arise TV, the Punch Newspapers and BBC Pidgin) be played at the inquest.
In the various footage, the witness was alleging that his son was dragged, severely beaten, his stomach stumped upon by some senior students of the school.
Responding to more questions,
Oromoni Snr revealed that he had never been to his son’s hostel at Dowen College.
He, however, accepted that other students would have heard his son cry out if he was being beaten by alleged bullies.
The Coroner, Mikhail Kadiri, adjourned proceedings until Feb. 15 for continuation of the cross-examination.




NAN reports that it was alleged that the 12-year-old Oromoni died on Nov. 30, 2021 from injuries sustained in an attack by five senior students of Dowen College for allegedly refusing to join a cult.
It was also alleged that he was forced to drink an obnoxious substance by his attackers.
The Lagos State Director of Public Prosecution Advice released on Jan. 4 disputed the allegation stating that two autopsies revealed the cause of Oromoni’s death as acute bacterial pneumonia due to severe sepsis.

He said on Nov. 26, 2021, he left for Warri, Delta, with his son and arrived in the evening and that Oromoni Jnr was not taken to the hospital on that day.
“On Nov. 26, 27 and 28 2021, he was treated in my house on doctor’s directives.
“On Nov. 29, he was taken to St Louis Laboratory for a scan. We were referred by the doctor to go there.
“I was not there on that day because I had rushed to my house in Asaba, Delta to pick up something and I came back the next morning, which is Nov. 30, 2021.
“He died on Nov. 30, 2021; I was already in Warri when he died. I was in the hospital when the doctor confirmed to us that he did not make it,” he said.

The witness further revealed that after Oromoni Jnr was confirmed dead, the family wanted to bury him immediately.
“From the clinic, they were taking him for burial. I called them and they brought him back in the Hilux that they were using to convey him and they parked in front of my gate.



“The police came and took pictures and videos of the body and after that they asked me to take him to the mortuary and not bury him,” he said.
Following the revelation of the witness, Mr Omoaka requested that a series of interviews Oromoni Snr had granted to the press (Arise TV, the Punch Newspapers and BBC Pidgin) be played at the inquest.
In the various footage, the witness was alleging that his son was dragged, severely beaten, his stomach stumped upon by some senior students of the school.
Responding to more questions, Mr Oromoni Snr revealed that he had never been to his son’s hostel at Dowen College.
He, however, accepted that other students would have heard his son cry out if he was being beaten by alleged bullies.
The Coroner, Mikhail Kadiri, adjourned proceedings until Feb. 15 for continuation of the cross-examination.




NAN reports that it was alleged that the 12-year-old Oromoni died on Nov. 30, 2021 from injuries sustained in an attack by five senior students of Dowen College for allegedly refusing to join a cult.
It was also alleged that he was forced to drink an obnoxious substance by his attackers.
The Lagos State Director of Public Prosecution Advice released on Jan. 4 disputed the allegation stating that two autopsies revealed the cause of Oromoni’s death as acute bacterial pneumonia due to severe sepsis.

This is the report from your preferred Coroner. The one that did a "professional" job right ??

Ask him why he refused to test the blackish substance found in Sylvester's body. He was able to mutilate and cut up the body so adeptly but couldn't run even a pH test on that fluid.

I told you guys that I received firsthand account from his fellow students that at least this boy was severely beaten with possibility of poisoning.

Maybe your relationship with the suspects and their families, or the complicity of yourselves and children in cases like this has eroded your conscience.
I repeat, It will reach you before the year runs out. Bank on that.

I really hope money wasn't spent on your fees because you obviously refuse to read beyond headlines.

Anyway you are cursing yourself because it is you who insists on believing a lie despite evidence of the truth.

You will also be falsely accused before the end of the year.

Start a new relationship with her, send her gifts, ask her out to dates, wooo her afresh like she is a stranger.

You went to call church elders without making any amends on your side. Even if she moves out start trying to court her afresh, don't assume she is your wife assume she is a new woman whose heart you are trying to win.

Try at least before you throw in the towel. Stop trying to get people to pressure her.

Thank you everyone for your advice. Just to update you . I sent him my number yesterday and he called few hours later we had discussed about the meeting and children arrangement and I couldn't believe my ears when he said he want to support his children 100% but he want them to start staying with his sister in the house he built where his sister is staying with her family because inhave other children and he don't want me to neglect his children needs because of my other children, he want his sister to train them so I can focus on my other children . He ask to meet today and he want me to give the children to his sister this Sunday he will do everything for them. I didn't want to be rude and I told him I will think about it and will give the answer today when we meet. Which will never happen I will not give them away , the same sister that haven't bother to look for them for 9 years and why would I give her my children for. I have blocked him already it is not worth me wasting my time with them.

He can't take the kids from you and give his sister no law allows that. Again go with a lawyer, let him pay the one he owes and the one for the future. You should have gone to court since

Chai you should have gone to see him since.

It is not about you but the kids and their welfare, they deserve both parents regardless of what happened.

You should have had a lawyer draft an agreement for you both to sign on support owed and the one he will pay in future so if he defaults you can take legal action.


Anyway it is not too late. Please take the kids along, it will be unfair not to see their dad

socialmediaman:


Her agenda was to prove the family was lying, which is fine, I don't have a problem with that, what's wrong with admitting that, so that when we read your report, we compare with the news report for accuracy? When I saw her previous thread on this issue, I could see how the narrative looked skewed when compared with the news reports, and I asked her about it, she could've admitted that it was intentional, instead she claimed she was simply reporting the news.

This is the thread I'm referring to: https://www.nairaland.com/6965077/sylvester-oromoni-coroner-inquest-daily

Your own agenda was to sustain the lies despite evidence, you kept lying and when faced with evidence changed story why has time to be going round and round with you?

Meanwhile be informed that the Delta state pathologist has done a total reversal of his earlier report probably to avoid discipline by the MCDN for his role in all this.

See the updated report.

Lies have an expiry date

Well balanced article of rubbish. Sorry to say, we are not as daft as you are . I wonder why the government would conduct another test without the knowledge of the parent . This alone is enought to tell us something is fishy. I stopped believeing the report after this because it is very glaring that people like you are one of those that would believe nobody died at the lekki toll gate . What a shame

The common denominator is ignorant people who can't debate logic resorting to cursing themselves and their parents..
Read and learn, the family was informed of the autopsy and had their family witness there.
A comprehensive autopsy in a case where foul play is suspected cannot be done in the absence of all interested party. It was Late Sylvester's family that did an autopsy without letting other parties know and even the report they now can't defend it.

Read before you spew una no go gree you will come online and be abusing your parents

chigator2:


If you assume you are more literate than me then you are dead wrong.

What should I be reading, when I have first hand account from children of family friends.
They gave me all assurance that he was severely beaten at least.

So don't be afraid of God's judgement. If you are saying the truth God will judge you fairly, if you are lying God will judge you harshly.

Same to me, may God Judge us all on this matter.

chigator2:


Rubbish, this experience will not pass you by this year.

He died of blunt trauma from getting beat up.
Even in an autopsy report, black fluid was found in his body.

I have gotten first hand account from students in this school about the bullying that result in this case.
Their parents insist that they don't want their kids out there in public spectacle in such a sensational case involving powerful interests.

Everybody is trying to hide themselves else those murderer kids would have met same fate already.

Judgement will be passed by God on you and those like you in no distant time

He who refuses to read refuses to grow.

May God's judgement also fall on you if you are accusing people of murder falsely. May God's judgement fall on you because after seeing evidence you want to keep lying..

May God judge you

Wasky101:

I have noticed a new trend of social media accusations, trial and justice. The first to report on social media garners all the sympathy.
Imagine what those young boys would have gone through, people dragged their parents and attacked them, I remember seeing comments on one of the boys mothers page. Will they take all those vile comments back

It is just horrible. One of the mother's was forced to delete her Instagram accounts. They posted the numbers of the parents and Principal. It was a very wicked set up, I hope the school and family sues the Oromoniyi family. See how they kept lying on social media.

The sad part is many of the celebrities who joined in abusing and leading the mob are too ashamed to apologize and say they were wrong on this.
The ones here who are rejecting facts and choosing to remain with sentiments. What this family did Sha.

Simple Question: Who or What killed Sylvester Oromoni. You can't comprehend or what ? Just answer the question.

Because all you are saying is translated to this :
Sylvester was bullied and died of the effects but not by poisoning.

Report has been shared for you to read you no gree read you want others to read and translate for you.

Anyway autopsy says he injured his ankle from playing ball. The injury was not well treated, it led to sepsis and it was not treated, he would have survived with antibiotics, there was no Poison, there was no evidence on his body to show anybody beat him

chigator2:


Don't refer me to anything, since you are well paid to speak in their defence, tell us, according to your paymasters, who or what killed Sylvester Oromoni

Ask your own paymasters the family that is paying you to keep lying for them why they didn't present the fak autopsy report they shared on social media at the Inquest.

If you cannot read I can't help you.

Or they are not paying you enough to read?
