The heartbreaking story of Sylvester Oromoni, the 12-year-old student from Dowen College, has resurfaced following the recent passing of his mother, Mrs. Rosemary Oromoni. Her death, reportedly from health complications linked to high blood pressure, comes just months after a court ruling that delivered a stinging verdict against the family.
A Timeline of Tragedy
Sylvester’s death in November 2021 sparked outrage, as allegations of bullying and abuse at the hands of senior students surfaced. His family alledged that he had been forced to ingest a harmful substance, a claim that captured national attention. Yet, investigations took a different turn:
- January 2022: The Lagos State Government exonerated the accused students and staff at Dowen College.
- April 2024: A Lagos State Coroner ruled that Sylvester’s death was caused by negligence from his parents and doctor, pointing to delayed medical attention for his worsening condition.
The Weight of Loss
The latest development which is the passing of Sylvester’s mother, adds another layer of grief to an already tragic tale. It is difficult to ignore the emotional toll this saga has taken on the family. Many on social media have expressed their sympathy, with some lamenting the justice system’s perceived failure and the enduring pain of a grieving mother.
