The coroner inquest sitting in Ogba Magistrate Court investigating the tragic death of Sylvester Junior Oromoni, a 12-year-old student of Dowen College, Lekki, has concluded that his demise resulted from negligence on the part of his parents and a doctor.

Magistrate Mikhail Kadiri, presiding over the inquest, declared that Oromoni’s death was due to failed treatment for his enlarged liver.

The ruling sheds new light on the circumstances surrounding the young boy’s passing, which occurred on November 30, 2021, sparking widespread outrage and demands for justice.

Prior to his death, Oromoni had reported being bullied and forced to consume a poisonous substance by fellow students at Dowen College. The incident prompted investigations into possible foul play and accountability.

However, on January 5, 2022, the Lagos State Government absolved five students and five employees of Dowen College of any wrongdoing in connection to Oromoni’s death.

In the latest development, Magistrate Kadiri pointed fingers at both Oromoni’s parents and a doctor, stating, “Based on the foregoing, it is clear that the deceased’s health deteriorated in (doctor) PW 3’s care. PW 3 did not take proper care of the deceased. PW 3 completely abandoned the deceased for a period of more than 32 hours.

“The deceased’s death was an avoidable one but for the negligence of the parents and PW 3, they didn’t take him to the hospital until the day he died on November 30, 2021. The deceased went through avoidable and excruciating pain and was made to suffer needlessly.”
