Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has called for a thorough investigation of the case of the death of Sylvester Oromoni Jnr and that those behind the act should be made to face the wrath of the law.
Okowa in a Facebook post on Saturday vowed that his administration will ensure that there is justice adding that as a government that places priority on the lives of its citizens within and outside the state, it is determined to pursue the case to the end.
The governor aligned himself with the order of his Lagos State counterpart, Sanwo-Olu, over the closure of Dowen College on the alleged murder of Sylvester Oromoni Jnr.
He wrote, “Last night, I spoke to Mr. Sylvester Oromoni, the father of late Sylvester Oromoni Jr., the Dowen College student who unfortunately died under very controversial and unclear circumstances.
“As a government that places priority on the lives of our citizens within and outside the state, we are determined to pursue this case to the end. The matter must be investigated, perpetrators apprehended, punished, and made an example of, to serve as a very strong deterrence against future occurrences.
“As we continue to watch this case closely, we extend our prayers and support to the Oromoni family. As they mourn the loss of their young son, I pray that Almighty God gives them the strength that they need at this difficult time. Amen.”
