A 12-year-old pupil of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos State, Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, who died after he was allegedly tort¥red by his senior colleagues in 2021, has been laid to rest.

Oromoni was laid to rest on Saturday, January 27, 2024 at the family’s compound at Ogbe-Ijoh, Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta.
