Lagos State Government has ordered the indefinite closure of Dowen College situated at Lekki over the death of one of their students, 12 year old Sylvester Oromoni Jnr.
The closure of the school is a response to the controversies surrounding the death of Oromoni Jnr, whose family insisted was assaulted by senior students of the school for allegedly refusing to join a “secret cult” in the school.
Late Oromoni's family members also revealed that the 12 year old boy was forced to consume chemicals by the culprits.
Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, announced the closure of the school after a meeting with the School Management and Staff.
