Sylvester Oromoni (Senior), father of the late 12-year-old Dowen College student Sylvester Oromoni (Junior), has contested the findings of the Coroner regarding his son’s death.
The Coroner, Magistrate Mikhail Kadiri, concluded after a lengthy session on Monday that the boy’s passing was due to natural causes, but also highlighted parental and medical neglect as contributing factors.
Despite this ruling, Sylvester Oromoni (Senior) expressed disagreement during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Tuesday, dismissing the Coroner’s decision as an opinion rather than a satisfactory judgment.
He said “My son died on the 30th day of November 2021. We’ve been in court for two years plus but the judgment given yesterday does not represent the true evidence given in court. I go to court every day. I’ve never missed any day.”
