#JusticeForSylvester: ''We Are Determined To Pursue This Case To The End''- Governor Okowa

Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa has reacted to the death of Dowen College student, late Sylvester Oromoni who died from injuries he sustained after allegedly being assaulted by schoolmates, IgbereTV reports.

Governor Okowa promised to follow the case to the end to ensure Justice for Sylvester Oromoni.

He wrote on Facebook;

"Last night, I spoke to Mr. Sylvester Oromoni, the father of late Sylvester Oromoni Jr., the Dowen College student who unfortunately died under very controversial and unclear circumstances.

During the call, I expressed my agreement with the decision of the Lagos State government to launch an investigation into the death of Sylvester, a native of Warri South LGA in Delta State.

As a government that places priority on the lives of our citizens within and outside the state, we are determined to pursue this case to the end. The matter must be investigated, perpetrators apprehended, punished, and made an example of, to serve as a very strong deterrence against future occurrences.

As we continue to watch this case closely, we extend our prayers and to the Oromoni family. As they mourn the loss of their young son, I pray that Almighty God gives them the strength that they need at this difficult time. Amen."

The nightmare of any parent is to lose a child, not even under such dastardly circumstances.
Lagos State government MUST ensure that the matter is thoroughly investigated and justice served.

This case must not be swept under the carpet. Justice for the young lad.

So sad.

I hope this is not another case of #TherRichAlwaysWin.

Please do

The school fumbled for rushing to give their side of report which is very inconsistent with the injuries sustained. As if they are covering something up...this will eventually affect the school at the end of the day.

RIP to the brilliant boy.

Oga frist go settle cult issues in your state before you tackle another state own,Delta state is full of cultism in their secondary school

Very very good.

H

okay, thats the way to go sir. America does not play with any of its citizen.

Na so dem go dey make statements up and down. Let's wait for two months and see if this won't die down. The determination of Nigerian prosecutor to pursue cases is near zero. They will talk about this for a while and then forget it. Nigeria is a cesspit of failures!

If this was carried out by a government official it will swept under the carpet like nothing happened.. if it was done by a civilian then justice must be served. Who re Iniobong Umoren..? All a sudden the trial is stalled for a long time now. Look at the endsars report and so many more..

Nigerian government is no good because they are always right in what ever they do.

I still don't understand why parents take their kids to boarding school.. R. I. P to this vibrant and amazing soul.. This shouldn't be swept under the carpet at all, all the culprits and those trying to cover it up must be punished

This is the rich vs the rich. Let see who is wealthy ���lol

Such a terrible loss, whether you are very wealthy or very poor ,u need to train up your child responsibly, so that they won't bring shame to u and your household,

as a human being I no just wan tell am say na animal in human form him be.

It will be a shame if after all these "big wigs" throwing weight, this case becomes bastardized. It's sad enough the family have to grief for the loss of a 12yr old boy, the closure they need is to get the suspects tried in court of law and face full consequences of their actions if found guilty. Cos in Instances like this where the "Rich" go against the "rich" you sometimes wonder where "justice" went to.

Imagine how southern Nigeria value lives.

But here miyetti Allah, Boko Haram and iswap Terrorists organization will kill thousands of people our useless governors and even the idiot called president will not say a word. They will all pretend as of nothing happened.

Why use "young lad"? colonial brainwashing. why not use the equivalent term in your own language? You were not taught lad in school - you simply just copied it from the british...

colonial mentality = everything foreign must be good while everything nigerian must be bad....

Hope they performed autopsy on him before burial?

Children of such tender ages shouldn't be sent to boarding Burden schools.

Many adults still the wickedness of older bullies in day schools talkless of Burden schools.

Idiot so because there is cultism in his state he should not speak ?
