I won’t bury my son even if it takes 30 years to get justice – Sylvester’s father

Sylvester Oromoni, father of late Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, has vowed not to bury his son even if takes him 30 years to get justice.

The heartbroken father stated this while reacting to Lagos state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu’s statement that the autopsies carried out on the late Dowen College student’s body in Warri and Lagos respectively, showed he died a natural death.

Mr Oromoni told The Punch;

“The family does not have power. We only rely on God. If they insist that the school will reopen, there is no problem. If God keeps me for 20 or 30 years, I will follow up this case. Government will come, the government will go. I am not bothered. The soul of that boy is crying round. God is alive; He cannot be bribed.

My son will never be buried. If it takes me 30 years to get justice, he would remain there (in the mortuary). He is my son; I won’t bury him. Nigerians should look beyond what they are saying.”

Asked if he had any doubt over the autopsy released by the state government, he replied;

“Do they have any autopsy report? They don’t have any. The doctor that did the autopsy in Delta State was recommended by the Area Commander. He is not the family doctor. We don’t know him. Our lawyer applied to the Area Command to get a copy of the autopsy.”
