A video of Sylvester Junior, the 12-year-old student of Dowen college allegedly brutally beaten in school by boys who wanted to initiate him into a cult has emerged.
The video shows the boy wincing in pain, with is mouth slightly open as he tried to breath while his uncle and a nurse helped him on to a chair in the hospital.
His cousin, Perrie@perrisonoromoni released the video showing the young boy before he gave up the ghost.
In his tweet, Perrie said, “This was the state of Sylvester junior before he died. He couldn’t raise a leg or an arm.”
The deceased was obviously in great pain and unable to lift his hands or legs as a nurse helped him wear his face mask.
His cousin has kept the public abreast of events leading to the death of the student who was fatally beaten by his colleagues in a bid to forcefully initiate him into their cult against his wish.
In a series of tweets, Perrie said that before he passed on on Tuesday, his cousin mentioned the names of the colleagues who caused him the agonising pain.
The management of Dowen College has however denied that any of their students beat up Sylvester. They insisted that he was injured while playing football and that the school nurse and doctor treated him.
The statement added that when the pain persisted after those treatments, his mother was called in to to take him home for further medical care.
Dowen College management said that it has carried out a preliminary investigation and found that there was no case of bullying and all the boys mentioned had no links with the incident.
They maintained that they are a faith-based institution with policies that are strongly anti-cultism.
The statement further adds that they have had a cordial relationship with the family of the deceased whose sister is also a student of the school.
