An uncle to late Sylvester, @perrieonoromoni who passed away due to alleged bullying from senior student in his school, Dowen college, Lagos.
In a series of tweet shared on the microblogging platform X, noted that one of the accused uncle told the father of the deceased to forget about the case.
Recall that on the 1st of December 2021, it was reported that a 12 year old male student of Dowen college in Lagos was allegedly bullied to death by senior colleagues.
His uncle has now revealed online that it’s been two years but they never got justice.
He wrote;
“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.”
