Mr Sylvester Omoroni, the father of Dowen College student who died recently after he was allegedly tortured by his classmates.
Mr Omoroni said Sylvester was flogged mercilessly with a belt and then fed with a substance by his bullies.
“They entered his room, switched off the light and threatened to kill the other students who witnessed what they did to my son.”
Oromoni Jnr was 12. Dowen College in Lekki area of Lagos blamed his death on injuries suffered while playing football.
Following public outcry, the school announced that it would temporarily shut its doors and reopen next week as exams are scheduled to start soon.
But the Lagos State Government has ordered the school to be shut down until the education ministry and relevant authorities conclude a probe into Oromoni Jnr’s death.
