The autopsy on Sylvester Oromoni, a student of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, who died on November 30 last year, has said the 13-year old boy died of “acute lung injury due to chemical intoxication in a background of blunt force trauma.”

You would recall that GWG had earlier reported that the schoolboy died in November 2021 after he was allegedly bullied by five schoolmates who tried to lure him into cultism.

His refusal to join the dreaded cult led to his unfortunate death.

It also disclosed that the boy had scalded upper lip and gastric erosion.
