Sylvester Oromoni: Dowen College Resumes Online Classes After Shutdown by domesifa(op): 10:55pm On Dec 04, 2021
The management of Dowen College, Lagos, has announced the commencement of online academic session despite Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s order to shut down all activities in the school.

Mr Sanwo-Olu’s administration had ordered the indefinite closure of the school on Friday, following the controversies surrounding the death of a 12-year-old student, Sylvester Oromoni Junior. This was to enable proper investigations are carried out.

But the school management, in a mail sent to parents shortly after the shutdown, announced that all academic activities will be held online until further notice.

“We wish to inform you that further to our meeting at the Ministry of Education the school will be shutting down all physical activities till further notice. All learning will move online in the interest of safety and transparency,” the management said in the mail, a screenshot of which was seen on Twitter.

It further commiserated with the family of the Oromoni Junior who died after sustaining injuries over his alleged refusal to join a cult group in the school.

Since the incident, there has been outrage as many called for a complete shutdown of the school and demanded justice for the 12-year-old with #Justiceforsylvester trending on Twitter.

This followed the management’s claim that the deceased only suffered football injuries despite evidence of his last moments that indicated that the 12-year-old was beaten, as his lips were swollen and blood was spotted on his teeth, an indication that he also had injuries in the mouth.

Sylvester Oromoni, the father of the late student had alleged that parents of students responsible for torturing his son were on the move to fly them out of the country.

“The parents of the boys are wealthy. They withdrew them. The school called the parents to pick their wards; interviewed them. Some of the parents are planning to fly the children out of the country,” Mr Oromoni alleged while disclosing that Oromoni Junior was also given a chemical substance.

For days, The Gazette’s efforts to reach the school for comments have been futile.

It was the school that was shut down, not just the building. So if they are resuming with online classes it's a direct violation of the shut down order.

If the school shuts down totally, how will the other students finish thier exams abi na the whole students kill the boy ni? Others have thier lives ahead and they simply have to move on either ways. I am quite sure the online class is just for other students to round up thier exams. LASG should be aware of this step

The shutdown is to forestall any other incident that can happen. Na wetin dey affect Nigeria be this. We believe once it's not you then life goes on. Every sensible parents in dowen will know their ward can be next if proper investigation and cleansing is not done in that school, that's why the shutdown is necessary. If the claims of cultism is 100% true it means there still remains some cultists in that school and as such the physical and psychological well-being of every student is under threat.

This is a balanced viewpoint.

Other hunderd students or so needs to finish this term exam.
Even if the school will be closed down for a long time next term, atleast they can go to another school.

There's nothing wrong with the school taking learning and teaching online.
The government shut down the school. They didn't shut down schooling.
It's good for the good kids with a life to conclude the term and take their examination.
Thanks to Covid-19 that opened people's eyes to the benefits of remote teaching and learning.
As far as I am concerned, they should remain online until the little devils who cut the life of Sylvester short are brought out and served a hot sauce of their own recipe.
Then, and only then, should the government consider reopening the school.
