Doctors and parent negligence killed Sylvester Junior Oromoni – Court

The Coroner hearing at Ogba Magistrate Court scrutinizing  the death of a 12-year-old  Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, student , Sylvester Junior Oromoni, has attributed his death to his parents’ and doctor’s negligence.

The Coroner Magistrate, Mikhail Kadiri, ruled that Oromoni died as a result of failed treatment for his enlarged liver.

 We can recall that Oromoni died on November 30, 2021.

His death was attributed to bully and an alleged poisonous substance he was forced to drink at school

But on January 5, 2022, the Lagos State Government absolved the five students and five employees of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, who were accused of the death of Sylvester Oromoni.

Kadiri said, “Based on the foregoing it is clear that the deceased’s health deteriorated in (doctor) PW 3’s care.

“PW 3, did not take proper care of the deceased, PW 3, completely abandoned the deceased for a period of more than 32 hours.

“The deceased’s death was an avoidable one but for the negligence of the parents and PW 3, they didn’t take him to the hospital until the day he died on November 30, 2021.

“The deceased went through an avoidable and excruciating pain and made to suffer needlessly,” Kadiri said.
