Sylvester Oromoni: How some Dowen College parents hindered investigation – Police

CSP Bamidele Olusegun, on Tuesday, told an Ikeja Coroner’s Court that parents of some Dowen College students hindered investigation into the death of  12-year-old student of the school, Sylvester Oromoni.

Olusegun, who works at the Homicide Section of the Lagos State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, Yaba,  told the court that the parents hindered the investigation by refusing to release their wards for interrogation.

Olusegun, the Lead Investigating Officer of the case, made the claim at the continuation of his cross-examination before the court.

‘Investigation not comprehensive’

While responding to a question from the Coroner, Mr Mikhail Kadiri, Olusegun said that three roommates of the deceased were not released by their parents due to fear of trauma.

Olusegun also said that investigation into the death was not  comprehensive due to unavailability of the three roommates of the deceased.

“Having not been able to interview the remaining three students, I can say the investigation was not comprehensive.
