I Won’t Bury My Son Even If It Takes 30 Years To Get Justice - Sylvester’s Dad
Category: Crime News
Sylvester Oromoni, the father of the late 12-year-old pupil of Dowen College,
Lekki, Lagos, Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, has restated the family’s commitment to
get justice, saying that he would not bury his son even if it takes 30 years
to get justice.
He also kicked against the report of the autopsy carried out at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, alleging that there was foul play.
Sylvester’s death went viral following a social media post by his cousin, Perry Oromoni, who alleged that some senior pupils of the school beat him up in his hostel because he refused to join a cult.
Speaking to Punch correspondent on Friday the father said the case had yet to have a closure, insisting that his son would not be buried until “justice is served” even if it took as long as 30 years.
He said, “The family does not have power. We only rely on God. If they insist that the school will reopen, there is no problem. If God keeps me for 20 or 30 years, I will follow up this case. Government will come, the government will go. I am not bothered.
The soul of that boy is crying round. God is alive; He cannot be bribed.
“My son will never be buried. If it takes me 30 years to get justice, he would remain there (in the mortuary). He is my son; I won’t bury him. Nigerians should look beyond what they are saying.”

That is foolishness,where do you expect justice here on earth,why not forgive and forget and leave the justice to God the greatest judge and a respecter no person
ReplyDeleteHmmnn, everybody is right to his opinion. The Oromonis are right as long as their decision is in consonant with the law. But what matters most is that once death takes place the remains is irrelevant to God's action in Judgment whether swallowed by beast, drown, cremated or driedskinned and kept in cupboard. Secondly, whether justice is done on earth by human jurisprudence or not, the Creator will do the final judgment (Revelations 15:6-15). On this note I will advise the Oromonis to lessen their grieves and pains by burying the remains of Sylvester Jnr. Justice will surely be done.
