Lagos Police Conclude Autopsy, Release Body Of Dowen Student To Family For Burial

The Lagos state Police command has concluded the autopsy of late 12-year-old Dowen College student, Sylvester Oromoni and released the corpse to his family for burial, PUNCH reports

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Adekunle Ajisebutu, made this known on Friday.

The report of the autopsy is yet to be announced.

The Lagos PPRO said, “Sylvester Oromoni: autopsy done. (The) result is being awaited. Corpse (was) released to (the) family for burial. Investigation ongoing.”

The late student was rumoured to have been attacked by “some of his senior colleagues” for refusing to join a cult group.

His cousin – Perrison Oromoni – had gone on social media to narrate how he had died and went as far as calling out the names of his cousin’s alleged killers.

Perrison said the school called the deceased’s father, telling him that his son sustained injuries while playing football at the school.

Over 100,000 persons have also signed a petition domiciled on the Change.org platform seeking the arrest of those fingered in the incident and their swift prosecution.

No fewer than five persons have been grilled by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command in connection to the death of the deceased.
