NANS LAUDS LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT, FROWNS AT COMMISSIONER OF POLICE STATEMENT

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) investigative committee on Sylvester’s death commended the Lagos State Government for removing Ms Adetutu Oshinusi from the office of Director of Public Prosecution.

Recall that, Oshinusi had in her recommendation to the police on the matter on Tuesday called for the release of the Dowen staff and students suspected to have a hand in circumstances leading to the death of Oromoni, insisting that autopsy result showed that the victim died of infection and not as a result of being physically tortured as claimed by family members.

NANS in a statement said, “The Lagos State Government should equally make frantic efforts to educate the Lagos Police boss, Hakeem Odumosu, to avoid making statements contradictory to obvious facts.”

Oladimeji Uthman, Chairman NANS Investigative Committee said “We equally want to reiterate that NANS is an umbrella body for all Nigerian students (Nursery to Tertiary institution), home and in the diaspora. If you feel attacked by our efforts to protect the right and seek justice of our very own Sylvester, then it is glaring who the enemy of justice is. We will not leave any stone unturned. We will keep making findings and call out whosoever that is trying to repress justice, big or small, low or in high places.”

NANS urge the Parents of Late Sylvester Oromoni Jnr and Dowen college, to release the medical records of Sylvester Oromoni jr before his demise. This is important as it would shed more light on ongoing investigations.

The committee vow not to stop pursuing justice for the late Sylvester and equally exposing the rot in the system.
