Cut down too early Sylvester Oromoni Jnr
He would have been 12 on Dec 4. Sylvester did not make it. He was murdered.
There are so many questions to ask but the question of justice supersedes them all.Justice for Sylvester Oromoni jnr.
We have once again sent very dangerous signal to the world. The last time, it was a misplaced school which went up in gas flames.
Now, it is the murder of a twelve -year old, so easily!
What would the law enforcement/judicial process do for closure?
Are we going to get the names of the secondary school cultists? Probably the children of eminent people,who are by now running helter-skelter to fiddle with the process in order to cover up the deeds of their children.
How do we redefine the school environment such that this crime does not define the school.
We are so sad and we condole with the family of the Sylvester.
We insist that the police,the state govt and the judicial system must all live up and not present the usual disappointment.
After this, we must raise a concerted effort to ensure that we distinguish between the school and the deadly jungle.
