Dowen college moved on like nothing happened

The late Sylvester Oromoni's uncle, who expressed outrage on X formerly known as Twitter about the mishandled power by the wealthy and Nigeria's dysfunctional judicial system, died after being beaten by his classmates.

He shared; 

“2 years!!! 2 years of pain, anger, excruciating emotional torment and non ending pursuit for justice. I have always known how corrupt and useless the Nigerian justice system is but I never imagined I'd experience it first hand.

“This boys father was told in court by one of the accused uncle to forget about the case. Said they've got over a million dollars to fight and defend themselves till the world ends.

“An autopsy was carried out when sly died but was ordered to be done again in Lagos where not only was the result different, each of the families of accused has their own pathologist present.

“We got to see how the Nigerian bar association tried to disrupt the case, how the judge called in sick almost every court date, how witnesses were intimidated and basically harassed by the army of lawyers of the 5 accused boys.

“Dowen college moved on like nothing happened. Blogs and some influential figures were bought and to crown it all its now headed toward lack of substantial evidence. It's not over until justice prevails. Believe that.”
