Yet again, another hashtag is trending. This time, it is #JusticeForSylvester, used in demanding justice for the 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni Jnr., a student of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, who was callously beaten by fellow students and left for dead. And he died!
What was Sylvester’s crime that he had to pay the supreme price? Nothing! The poor lad, we are told, was already in bed when five senior students swooped on him for refusing to join their cult group.
Explaining what happened to his son, Mr. Sylvester Oromoni Snr., said: “He was dragged from his bunk to the floor and they began to step on him. That was why he was in so much pains, then they forced him to drink something.”
His attackers came with the intention to kill and they accomplished their dastardly mission.
