Dormitory Mate Of Sylvester Oromoni Reveals How He Was Tortured By Senior Students:

"Hello tamara

Sly got beat up on Saturday 27th of November by the boys that was named and the ring leader was Favor, Aslem and Micheal is more of a follower.

I was in the room the day they came in
Sly was on his bed and we were just talking and playing in our hostel room as usual after we clean. At about evening time the senior boys came in and senior Favor switched of the light they were holding their belt with them
They were not 5 but 6 senior boys but I don't know who exactly was part of the beating but I know senior Edwin was there for sure.

They beat him up and he fell from his bunk and after they were done they called us back to the room and aslem said the school rules piss him off and if we snitch the way sly did them would do even worse to us. Sly was still on the ground and favor kicked his head again before they left.

In the morning on Sunday sly was on his bed and he complained that he couldn't walk so the senior called us to their room and said if we snitch they would know and that if they ask us what is wrong we should say he played football.

The dorm master knew there was a beating that occurred so I don't understand why they are lying on the internet that he wasn't aware.

Even the following morning sly went to the sick bay and it was obvious he was beaten and because no football can break bones and moreover that week we didn't have or play football or sport activities.

I tried to explain to the principal what happened but they keep shutting us up and saying he was playing football even before sly uncle came to pick him up me and me and my friend told our dorm master mr amed what really happened but they didn't want to listen to us
I can't sleep so I decided to speak the truth everything sly said before he died were the truth.

We didn't know he was dead till we were sent home and picked by our parents
They told us he was getting withdraw from the school

This is not the first case that has happen in Dowen they always hid and cover it up the junior student are not always protected by the teachers or principal if we report annoymously they would make us suffer for reporting."

I tried to explain to the principal what happened but they keep shutting us up and saying he was playing football

These days, teachers and other members of the staff of a school could be in a cult group with students because I see no other reason why they were hidding the truth and shutting dorm mates off!

..even before sly uncle came to pick him up me and me and my friend told our dorm master mr amed what really happened but they didn't want to listen to us. I can't sleep so I decided to speak the truth everything sly said before he died were the truth.

It is the truth because I saw the video and saw a small boy in severe pains. I could feel it. I could feel the pains.



The school should explain how the students got the substance given to the boy since they were boarders.


Those names mentioned should be interrogated! They could have forced Sniper down his throat!

He snitched on them? What were they up to? Did he catch them in a cult meeting? ...a gay sth?

If the teachers don't want to speak up but had to sugarcoat his death and attribute it to football, does it mean they have a hand in it? Their silence is total BS.

Is sb else paying the piper for the tunes? Sb who wants to remove the only-son figure from the family?

Many questions!


Bullying is of evil! A lot of kids are going through this and dying silently.

Bold steps need to be taken...not mere talks! Parents should be close to their kids! I do not support boarding schools from day one. I like a school I could be seeing my child everyday!

Tems graduated from Dowen but has chosen to be silent. Anyways, I am still available for Turnitin-friendly research writing services.

How can kids be this wicked? Is it that their parents/guardians don't show them love abi wetin happen gangan?

It will never be well with those boys

Secondary school students forming cultist
They get luck say they never meet their match

If this child can speak, why are the perpetrators being hidden? If this child can speak, the others must confess to their crimes. There are certain crimes in which children are judged as adults, and this should be one of the cruelest and aggravated of such crimes.

Can't understand why the parents of murderers tend to feel their wards are angels in need of protection. Being a good parent doesn't mean supporting ones children in evil.

One way or the other the truth will come out. Let's hope this is a real lead. Not a game from culprits or their supporters.

I saw the faces of the boys, and looking at their faces, you would know they are hardened. Those boys have started abusing drugs at their young age. @parents , money is good , no doubt but dont neglect your children while looking for money, because if the monsters you are raising do not harm you, they would harm someone else. Bad parents, and parenting. Awon omo irankiran

Ije enu

Spoilt rich kids of Nigeria.
They are cowards if you find them out.

I dedicate this post to all young people who have suffered torture, molestation or bullying in one form or the other from fellow colleagues, teachers, relatives and strangers.

May God grant the survivors the strength to live above the trauma and damning consequences. As for those whose lives were cut short just like that of Captain Sylvester Jr., may God grant them eternal rest.

The school license must be seized and the building converted to something that would benefits the community.....

No protection for their students whatsoever, and yet they collect a huge sum as fee....

If this school is being pardon and continue to operate, then our private or tertiary institutions would become worse as a result of cultism, and the society at large.....

#SAYNOTODOWENCOLLEGE#.....

The father and mother needed to work very hard to give their boy the best opportunity at life.

The father and mother, because they needed to work hard, thought the boarding school would be good to teach the child some independence, some discipline... and perhaps would afford them time to pursue other things.

The father and mother, found a school. It was a school, only the very rich could afford. The mother hugged her child and left him in the custody of those that promised to keep him safe, and make something better out of him.

The boy returns home, and says he was bullied, some boys, equally of very rich or much richer stock had asked perverted questions from him, teasing him about his sisters genital, tormented him emotionally and roughened him up.

The father and the mother, thoughtful and interested in their child's affair, listened... they reached out to the school, the school promises to investigate... to investigate the sons and grandsons of powerful individuals.

The school called the bullies, inquired from them to hear the bullies deny; the school needed an assurance from the bullies, that such shouldn't occur. The bullies laugh it off. They have seen the worth of lives from their powerful fathers, from their fathers friends, and they know, that their wealth and blood would save them from any noose in the country. The bullies laugh it off.

The father and the mother have to continue to ensure their kids gets a better, and that pursuit was more important to them. It was fine enough, the schools reassurance.

A boy returns to the school, a boy is returned to the den of those who had bullied him.

A boy was found, a boy was bullied, kicked in the head, made to gulp some harmful substances.

A boy, injured, was taken to the sick bay.

The healthcare provider in the sick bay with an indication that the injury was severe, immediately sought to transfer the burden to the parent.

The father and the mother were called, but they were far away, in their pursuit of comfort and security for their child.

Eventually, after days, the boy, weaker, was taken home, and then to the hospital.

A boy, told his parents he was bullied, kicked in the head, he mentions some names.

The school is contacted, a report is made, the school ignores, the school says the boy is unsure and perhaps delirious, that he got the injury from participating in sport (football).

The school stuck to this narration. The name of the school will be in jeopardy if it changes the narration, one of the bullies is perhaps the son of a prominent judge, the school sticks to the narration.

The boy dies.

The school lives on, acting as though nothing occurred. No shared sympathy, no acknowledgment of the parent sorrow, no shifting in their narration, they stuck to an absolute position, that the boy was merely delirious, and it was a tragic occupational sport incident not deserving of the reevaluation of their sports ground, a tragic fatal occupational sport incident not deserving of an half mast flag of the school.

The parent, were they in the school of the masses, could wield their influence and shut such school, but not in Dowen College, the school for the sons of kings and elites.

The parent, runs to the masses away from their co parents in the school, who certainly are sad and heartbroken, but are more fearful for the impact such will have on them and theirs, with an interest in sustaining the reputation of the college and fearing greatly, the harm that such a scandal could cause; it was better to just be quiet and wait for time to aid forgetting.

The parents, left alone, unsure of what direction to go, runs to the masses... the masses with their loud voices, were saddened for the dead boy... and so, they decided to stand by him, to ensure there is little justice.

The state (government) seeking so much to be popular with the masses, after murdering several of them, about a year ago... listen to the masses.

The government (state) representative is happy for the allowances she shall gets. The school treats her well too, and smile at her.

The bullies are taken to another part of the world, to be shielded.

The bullies are sons of government officials or the fathers of the bullies, are godfathers to government officials (elected and non elected)

The autopsy is done; the report reads that the injury the boy suffered could have been from a kick, and such a kick is common in the sport of football, and that when he fell, it affected him internally and there's a footballer in china who died too from playing football.

The autopsy is done; the masses have moved on to another issue. Dowen college resumes.

The masses pray for the day, they'll be able to afford to send a child to such a renowned school.

The bullies inherits their fathers government position and reward those who stood by them.

The prominent masses wish they had.

This School deserves to be Demolished and Razed to rubbles!

Make the Teachers and Non Academic Staff go find another Work!

See

Damnnnnn
Wicked set of people

Make parents dey try introduce their children to small ruggedity at least

It's sad to see that some people in Nigeria who were once bullies when they were younger in school and all are part of those coming out to shout "Say No To Bullying".
How do you all live with yourselves?
The saddest is some are still lowkey bullies till date.
#Justiceforsylvester

The school should be levelled........

Those foolish culpable kids should be charged as Adults with second grade murder. The management should also be charged with a sort of complicit negligence/crime enablement. Justice must be served to all. Rip, young chap. The society failed you.

I tried to explain to the principal what happened but they keep shutting us up and saying he was playing football even before sly uncle came to pick him up me and me and my friend told our dorm master mr amed what really happened but they didn't want to listen to us

Some humans are beasts!

What's holding the police from making arrest since all this while??

Hmm
What a shame ..

Its a cycle thing shaaa, when the juniors gets to become seniors most even do more than the others do ..

I thought all this expensive schools don't allow stuffs like this ..

I been de pity the school before, but if this is true, let them burn down the school abeg..what rubbish

Saw this on twitter. One mumu was saying a child can't write so articulately like this.

Nawa ooh people sef.. justice is all that is needed abeg

Where did we borrow the idea of senior students acting like demigods with tactical approval of school management from?

Was it a hangover from the colonial era or successive military regimes?

Those in the junior classes will later become more brutal when they become seniors and the vicious cycle continues.


The investigation should naturally start from his dorm mates, hall mates and classmates, and here comes a prime witness.

There should be no cover ups. Everyone that has a hand in the torture of the boy must be brought to justice, including those bent on covering up the heinous crime.

After justice is served evenly to the culprits, I'm sure sly will have a reason to smile in his heavenly abode.

Thanks for being a good kid Sly and not joining forces with bad eggs. You will always be remembered for your sacrifice.

Following with keen interest.

Someone somewhere will be tried as an adult for this murder.

Children at home, beasts in school.

Some clowns are running around on nairaland asking why are people trying to drag the name of d school in the mud

That school building should be demolished Immediately

If this revelation is real....then this school management is in for a very rough ride with the Authority.

All those who covered up must be made accountable! What vileness!
