The school has questioned why the a sick Sylvester Oromoni was “driven away from Dowen College in Lagos to Warri,” and not flown by air.
Online health advocate Dr Oluwafunmilayo noted that an acute gastric erosion with scalded lips shows Sylvester was forcefully made to drink a toxic chemical.
The commissioner of police in Lagos, Hakeem Odumosu, says the suspects were released because they had not been indicted of murder.
With Sylvester Oromoni’s death, the shambolic state of Nigeria’s child protection system and culture towards bullying and other crimes has again been brought to the fore.
The Lagos Ministry of Education on Friday announced the indefinite closure of Dowen College pending the outcome of investigation into the death.
The father said the school management were wrong to have allowed the five culprits to leave the school without informing the police.
