Sylvester Oromoni, the father of the late 12-year-old student of Dowen College, has cried out for justice, stating that the parents of the students responsible for bullying and assaulting his son are about to fly them out the country.

He disclosed this in an interview with The Cable, stating that the parents of the students are wealthy and had been alerted by the school to pick their wards.

“The parents of the boys are wealthy. They withdrew them. The school called the parents to pick their wards; interviewed them. Some of the parents are planning to fly the children out of the country,” Mr Oromoni alleged.

Recall that Oromoni junior was allegedly bullied and assaulted by some senior boys in the college for refusal to join a cult group.

The cousin of the deceased revealed via his Twitter account that five students bullied him, and forcefully gave him a chemical substance to drink.

However the school in a statement released on Friday denied any form of bullying or attack on the student.

According to Dowen College Principal, Mrs. Adebisi Layiwola, the whole incident is strange and unbelievable.

The statement read, “The whole incident is strange and unbelievable because the school had effective anti-bullying policies and consequences are well spelled out to all the students.”

The Lagos State government has officially shut down the school to commence proper investigation in regards to the death of the deceased.
