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

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

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

According to Olusegun, investigation into Sylvester‘s 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.

“There were four bunks of eight students in the deceased’s room and we (police) were given all the names of the roommates of the deceased.

“We, however, succeeded in interrogating four out of the seven roommates.

“This is because some of the parents said their children were going through trauma,” he said.

Olusegun said ‘None’ of the students confirmed that the deceased was beaten, while responding to a question by Anthony Kpokpo, counsel to Dowen College.

“All the students at the police station said the alleged beating never happened,” he said.

The witness added that investigation into the death did not reveal anything against house masters at Dowen College.
