Sylvester Oromoni: Criticisms Trail As Nigerians Reject Coroner Magistrate’s Report
By Emily Ogah
Nigerians have taken to their social media handles to question the ruling of a Lagos coroner which presided over the death of Master Sylvester Oromoni, the 12-year-old student of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos.
GWG.ng earlier reported that the Coroner Magistrate, Mikhail Kadiri, on Monday, attributed the death of the teenager to parental and medical negligence. The Coroner held that the boy died as a result of failed treatment of his enlarged liver. Kadiri held that the negligence of the parents and their family doctor, Henry Aghogho (PW 3), in Warri after finding out he had an enlarged liver and treatment did not start immediately led to the death of late Oromoni.
Recall that Sylvester died on November 30, 2021 and his death was initially attributed to bullying and an alleged poisonous substance he was allegedly forced to drink in the school.
However, the judgement passed by the Coroner is stirring reactions from Nigerians on various social media platforms. While some are not surprised at the outcome given precedences, others have heavily criticized the court judgement.
