The Lagos Police Command has sealed Dowen college following the circumstances surrounding the controversial death of a 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni.
This comes after spokesman, Adekunle Ajisebutu of the Lagos Police Command in a statement made available to newsmen on Saturday said an investigation into the death of Oromoni has now been taken over by the Homicide Section of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
Ajisebutu stated that the Divisional Police Officer, Maroko Division, has been directed by the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, to immediately visit the school to carry out the initial investigation.
He said: “This directive has been carried out as an investigation into the case has since commenced.
However, in view of the seriousness of the case, the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, has also been directed to take over the investigation of the case immediately.
“Members of the public, particularly the deceased’s bereaved parents, friends, and relatives, are assured that the Lagos State Police Command has deployed all available human and material resources at its disposal to unravel the circumstances surrounding the sad and unfortunate incident.
“While the diligent investigation is ongoing, members of the public are advised against taking the law into their own hands. They are also enjoined to refrain from comments that could jeopardize the investigation.”
Oromoni was allegedly beaten to a pulp by his fellow students in the school for refusing to join a cult.
Perrie, an uncle to Oromoni in a post on his Twitter account disclosed that his cousin suffered severe injuries which led to his death.
