A creepy online post defending the actions of the pupils of Dowen College who physically assaulted the late Sylvester Oromoni has surfaced, saying they did what they did because he was disrespectful.
Oromoni’s death has sparked nationwide outrage, with many calling for the prosecution of those involved, especially after it was revealed that one or two of them have been flown outside the country.
Speaking via an online platform under the name ‘justicefordowenboys’, those involved in the tragedy stated that Sylvester didn’t die in the school but on his own three days later.
