Dowen College: ‘We Are Determined To Pursue Case To End’- Ifeanyi Okowa

Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has said that they are going to pursue the case of Sylvester’s death at Dowen College to the end.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Delta state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, who is the governor of deceased Dowen student, Sylvester Oromoni’s home state, has reacted to the tragic death of the student who would have turned 12 today December 4.

The student was alleged to have been attacked by “some senior colleagues” for refusing to join a cult group.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, Okowa vowed that his administration will ensure the student, who is from Warri south LGA in Delta, gets justice.

The governor disclosed that he spoke with the father of the late student on Friday and assured him of his readiness to pursue the case till the perpetrators are brought to book.

Okowa also backed the decision of the Lagos state government to shut down the school.

“Last night, I spoke to Mr. Sylvester Oromoni, the father of late Sylvester Oromoni Jr., the Dowen College student who unfortunately died under very controversial and unclear circumstances,” he wrote.

“During the call, I expressed my agreement with the decision of the Lagos State government to launch an investigation into the death of Sylvester, a native of Warri South LGA in Delta State.

“As a government that places priority on the lives of our citizens within and outside the state, we are determined to pursue this case to the end. The matter must be investigated, perpetrators apprehended, punished, and made an example of, to serve as a very strong deterrence against future occurrences.

“As we continue to watch this case closely, we extend our prayers and support to the Oromoni family. As they mourn the loss of their young son, I pray that Almighty God gives them the strength that they need at this difficult time.”
