Dowen College Lied Sylvester Was Withdrawn After He Died – Student

A schoolmate of Sylvester Oromoni, the Dowen College student who was bullied to death by some seniors, has come out to deny that Sylvester picked up an injury while playing football noting that the school lied to them that he was withdrawn from the school even after he had died from the bullying.

He said the 12-year-old boy was tortured by senior students, for allegedly snitching on them to the authorities.

The boy, who was a witness to the beating narrated what happened in a note to “Tamara’.

He also said the dormitory master knew what happened and that ‘they were just lying on the internet.

Most shocking, he revealed that Dowen College authorities did not inform them of Sylvester’s death.

He said the Dowen College authorities lied to the students that Sylvester was being withdrawn from the school.

“I tried to explain to the principal what happened but they keep shutting us up and saying he was playing football. Even before Sly uncle came to pick him up me and me and my friend told our dorm master Mr Amed what really happened but they didn’t want to listen to us

“I can’t sleep so I decided to speak the truth. Everything Sly said before he died were the truth”.

Sly was on his bed and we were just talking and playing in our hostel room as usual after we clean. At about evening time the senior boys came in and senior Favor switched of the light they were holding their belt with them.

They were not 5 but 6 senior boys but I don’t know who exactly was part of the beating but I know senior Edwin was there for sure.

They beat him up and he fell from his bunk and after they were done they called us back to the room and aslem said the school rules piss him off and if we snitch the way sly did them would do even worse to us. Sly was still on the ground and favor kicked his head again before they left.

In the morning on Sunday sly was on his bed and he complained that he couldn’t walk so the senior called us to their room and said if we snitch they would know and that if they ask us what is wrong we should say he played football.

The dorm master knew there was a beating that occurred so I don’t understand why they are lying on the internet that he wasn’t aware.

Even the following morning sly went to the sick bay and it was obvious he was beaten and because no football can break bones and moreover that week we didn’t have or play football or sport activities.

I tried to explain to the principal what happened but they keep shutting us up and saying he was playing football even before sly uncle came to pick him up me and me and my friend told our dorm master mr Amed what really happened but they didn’t want to listen to us.

I can’t sleep so I decided to speak the truth. everything sly said before he died were the truth.

Noting how the Dowen College authorities lied to them that Sylvester was withdrawn even after he had died, he said:

We didn’t know he was dead till we were sent home and picked by our parents

They told us he was getting withdrawn from the school

This is not the first case that has happen in Dowen they always hid and cover it up the junior student are not always protected by the teachers or principal if we report annoymously they would make us suffer for reporting.”
