The family of Sylvester Oromoni has hired human rights activist, Femi Falana to file a case against Dowen College over the mysterious death of their child.

Oromoni was allegedly bullied to death by some students of Dowen College for refusing to join cult, but the school said the 12-year-old boy died after sustaining injury while playing football.

But Falana has written to the office of Lagos State’s Chief Coroner, demanding an inquest to be conducted to unravel what led to the boy’s death.

The letter was signed by one of the lawyers in Falana’s chamber, Taiwo Olawale.

He said the family of Oromoni had briefed him of the mysterious demise of their son and suspected that he died because of the injuries he sustained after being maltreated by some senior students.

Falana said in the letter that given the needless death of Sylvester Oromoni, his chamber was compelled to request the Chief Coroner to use his office to cause a coroner’s inquest to be conducted into the cause of death of this young and promising boy.

He said the Chief Coroner, after conducting the inquest should make appropriate recommendations pursuant to Section 15 of the Lagos State Coroner’s Law 2007 that stated that an inquest shall hold whenever a coroner was informed that the death of a deceased person within his coroner district was as a result of a death in a violent, unnatural or suspicious situation.

Falana prayed the Chief Coroner to conduct an inquest into the circumstance surrounding this tragic death and that he was confident that his lordship would accede to the request with utmost urgency

AKURE OBASHIP: OBA AGUNSOYEBIOYINBO ADEMUAGUN ADESIDA 11 BROUGHT CLASS AND DIGNITY TO THE THRONE

      AKURE OBASHIP: OBA AGUNSOYEBIOYINBO ADEMUAGUN ADESIDA 11 BROUGHT CLASS AND DIGNITY TO THE THRONE                 By Sunday Ajibola There are men and there are men. Man gets to positions of power and authority and bring to bear their inner qualities. Position, as we have it here, is used to do all sorts of things; good and bad. But mostly and vexatiously, position blinds us as we use it to cheat and deny others their rights. Certain men understand that position is an opportunity to etch their names in gold and put such in the sand of time.   It is exactly fifty years today that the 42nd Deji of Akure, late Oba Agunsoyebioyinbo Ademuagun Adesida 11 joined his ancestors. That fateful day was Sunday and in the evening; darkness was just enveloping the city. It was the strange shouts of "opo ye o, opo ye o, opo ye o", that prompted me to rush out of our house at Oke aro. I saw people running helter, skelter. I did not bother about them. I was looking for the "electric
