The Lagos State Government has sealed Dowen College in Lekki area over the death of one of its students, Sylvester Oromoni Jnr.

This came two days after the State Government announced the indefinite closure of the school.

The student’s death has continued to generate widespread criticism on social media platforms with many demanding justice for the deceased using the hashtag #JusticeForSylvester

Oromoni, the 12-year-old student of Dowen College, died a few days ago after he was allegedly attacked by “some senior colleagues” for allegedly refusing to join a cult group.
