Buruji Kashamu’s Family Reacts To Naming Of Son Among Dowen School Cultists

The family of the late Senator Buruji Kashamu has reacted to the outing of their son, Michael as one of the boys who allegedly bullied Sylvester Oromoni Jnr to death at Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Michael Kashamu was named along two others as members of the cult group who were forcing the late Sylvester Oromoni Jnr to join their cult group.

Responding in a statement issued on its behalf by Mutairu Kashamu, the family while confirming Michael Kashamu as their son and as a student of Dowen College said that it has “carefully questioned” Michael on the incident.

The family said that Michael admitted serving as a school father to the late Sylvester in the last school session but that their relationship was affected after he, Michael was moved to another floor in the boarding hostel.

In the statement titled, “Dowen College Student’s Death: Kashamu’s Family Empathizes With The Bereaved…Calls For Thorough Investigation.”

“Since the news of the unfortunate incident broke, we have made our own private enquiries and carefully questioned our son about his involvement,” the statement read.

“This is why we did not rush out to respond to the cyber-stalking, name-calling and negative commentaries that have taken over the social media about our son’s alleged involvement in this sad incident.”

“We feel and can relate to the pains of the Oromoni family and all those genuinely concerned about this unfortunate incident,” it added.

“That is why we wish to express our readiness to cooperate with the parents of the deceased, the Police, the Lagos State government and other relevant stakeholders to get to the root of this matter so that the cause of justice will not only be served but manifestly seen to have been served.

“However, it is regrettable that of the five names that were mentioned in relation to the incident, it is only Kashamu’s name that seems to ring a bell. Consequently, the family and its late patriarch (Senator Buruji Kashamu of blessed memory) have been the butt of irresponsible, falsehood-based and unwarranted attacks even when the full details of the incident are not yet known.

“There is no denying the fact that Adewale Michael Kashamu is one of the children of the late Senator Buruji Kashamu. But, no family or parent will send a child to school to be involved in any form of crime or criminality; just like no parent would be happy to be informed that a child he or she sent to school to learn has been molested or killed under any guise.

“That is why we wish to appeal for restraint on all sides. The cyber-bullying of our family will not help in any way to solve the bullying in schools that society through the ages has desired to stop.

“On our part, we have continued to engage our son, Adewale Michael Kashamu, and he has continued to maintain his innocence.”
