Mr Oromoni, the bereaved father of 12-year-old Dowen College, Lekki student, Sylvester Oromoni has declared that “I won’t bury my son even if it takes 30 years to get justice.”
The Lagos State Government had cleared all 5 students and 5 staff of the school of any links to the death of the junior school student.
The situation had led to Nigerians claiming that the autopsy report provided by the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital which mainteined that Sylvester had acute bacterial pneumonia due to sepsis was doctored.
Speaking to the Punch on Friday, January 7, Mr Oromoni said that he will not be laying his son to rest even if it takes 30 years to get justice.
According to him, “The family does not have power. We only rely on God. If they insist that the school will reopen, there is no problem. If God keeps me for 20 or 30 years, I will follow up this case.
“Government will come, the government will go. I am not bothered. The soul of that boy is crying around. God is alive. HE cannot be bribed.
“My son will never be buried. If it takes 30 years to get justice, he would remain there (in the mortuary). He is my son; I won’t bury him. Nigerians should look beyond what they are saying.”
