According to Lagostimes Nigeria, a coroner’s inquest into the death of 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni (Junior), a student at Dowen College in Lekki, Lagos, will begin on January 15, 2022.

The inquest will open on January 15 at Magistrate Court No. 4, Epe District, according to Lagos State Chief Coroner Justice M. A. Dada.

The Coroner of Epe District, Mikail Kadiri, urged the lawyers for the family of the slain students, Femi Falana (SAN), to provide a list of suspects to be brought to court in a letter dated January 4 to the lawyers for the family of the murdered students, Femi Falana (SAN).

The letter was titled, ‘Re: Request for Inquest into the tragic death of Sylvester Oromoni killed at Dowen College, Lekki. Lagos State’.

It read, “I have the directive of the Chief Coroner of Lagos State, Honourable Justice M. A. Dada to remind you that the inquest into the death of Sylvester Oromoni will commence on Saturday, 15th January, 2022 at Magistrate Court No. 4, Epe District, Combined High Court and Magistrate Court of Lagos State, Epe at 9:00am prompt; the hearing shall be in open Court.

“You are further reminded to file and serve depositions of all witnesses you intend to call at the inquest and forward a list of persons whom, in your opinion, needs to be summoned by the Court. The depositions may be filed at any of the Magisterial Districts in Lagos State and served electronically on all parties concerned. Please find attached the name, firm/representation and phone numbers of parties that attended the preliminary meeting held on the 16th December, 2021. Thank you.”

Sylvester died in November 2021 in dubious circumstances, and his death went viral after his cousin, Perry Oromoni, claimed that some senior students at the institution beat him up in his hostel because he refused to join a cult in a social media post.

The school, on the other hand, refuted the accusation, claiming that the youngster had leg aches as a result of a football injury.

The state government ordered the school to be closed indefinitely pending the result of the investigation.

The police detained five kids and five workers of the institution.

However, legal advice by the Directorate of Public Prosecutions, Adetutu Oshinusi, cleared the suspects.

But Falana and the father of the deceased student, Sylvester Oromoni Snr, noted that the acquittal of the suspects was to pave way for the reopening of the college.

Reacting to the DPP’s advice, the deceased’s father, said the family would seek its own legal advice.

He said, “I will not make my next line of action public for now, but what came out today is not strange to us. On December 31, the Commissioner of Police said at the instance of the DPP and the Attorney General he had released the house masters so far there was no case; so what came out today was not different from what the Commissioner of Police said.

“They are doing all these things because they want to open the school and they have their own agenda. This is just the beginning of the case; we have not even started. I will also advise the school not to open, and if they decide to open, there is no problem, we have not started this matter. We will get our legal advice and know the next action to take.”

Falana also said, “The report has not laid to rest the allegations surrounding the gruesome murder of Sylvester Oromoni. The report is escapist and hasty as the authorities are aware of the fact that the Chief Coroner of Lagos State has ordered that an inquest be conducted into the circumstances surrounding the unnatural death of Sylvester Oromoni. The inquest, which commenced before the coroner on December 16, 2021, has been adjourned till January 15, 2022 for further hearing.”
