Findings from the coroner’s inquest into the death of Master Sylvester Oromoni Jnr., a 12-year-old student of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, will be made known on or before April 12.
The Coroner, Magistrate Mikhail Kadiri, gave the assurance on Monday during adoption of final written addresses by parties in the case.
Kadiri said that findings from the inquest, which began on Nov. 30, 2021 before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court, would be made public.
Counsel in the suit adopted their final written addresses at the proceedings.
Chief Femi Falana (SAN) represented the Oromoni Family while Mr Anthony Kpokpo represented Dowen College.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that, on Oct. 9, 2023, the mother of the deceased, Mrs Rosemary Oromoni, testified as the last witness before the coroner.
She said that the late student had no health challenge before the complaints he made few days to his death.
According to the witness, she could not take the late student to hospital on the day he arrived home from school with complaints, few days before his death.
Kadiri then commiserated with the witness and her family on the death of the student, and admitted the statement she made at a police station in evidence.
The coroner directed counsel in the inquest to file their final written addresses within two weeks.
