Sylvester Oromoni Sr., the father of the late 12-year-old Dowen College student Sylvester Oromoni Jr., has openly rejected the recent ruling of Magistrate Mikhail Kadiri, the Coroner investigating his son's death. The ruling, delivered after a six-hour judgment on Monday, concluded that Sylvester Jr. died a natural death, which could have been avoided if not for the negligence of both the parents and the medical team.

In response to the ruling, Sylvester Oromoni Sr. expressed his dissatisfaction during an appearance on Channels Television's Sunrise Daily program. He dismissed the coroner's decision as merely an opinion rather than a well-founded judgment. In his statement, he emphasized that the ruling did not accurately reflect the evidence presented in court throughout the two-plus years of legal proceedings.

The father's rejection of the ruling comes amid widespread public interest and scrutiny surrounding the tragic death of Sylvester Jr. The incident occurred on November 30, 2021, sparking a lengthy legal battle and calls for accountability.

Sylvester Oromoni Sr.'s adamant stance suggests a lack of closure for the family and raises questions about the transparency and fairness of the investigation process. His unwavering commitment to seeking justice for his son underscores the deep emotional impact of the tragedy on the Oromoni family and the broader community.

As the case continues to unfold, the rejection of the coroner's ruling by Sylvester Oromoni Sr. may prompt further scrutiny and legal action, highlighting the complexities and challenges inherent in seeking accountability for such incidents.
