The Lagos police command has disclosed it did not receive any formal report on the death of Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, the deceased 12-year-old student of Dowen College.

Daily Report Ng had earlier reported how the  12-year-old, died a few days ago after he was allegedly attacked by “some senior colleagues” for refusing to join a confraternity group.

According to NAN, the state command’s spokesman, Adekunle Ajisebutu said although no formal report has been made yet, Hakeem Odumosu, the commissioner of police, has ordered investigation into the matter.

According to the spokesman: “The Lagos State Police Command is not unaware of the reported death of one Sylvester Oromoni, a 12-year-old student of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, which is currently going viral on the social media,”

“The Commissioner of Police, upon hearing about it, instantly directed the Divisional Police Officer, Maroko Division, under whose jurisdiction the place of incident is, to immediately visit the school to carry out initial investigation into the incident.

“This directive has been carried out as investigation into the case has since commenced.
