Lagos State Police boss, Hakeem Odumosu, has issued a stern warning agaist protest over the outcome of investigations on the death of death of Dowen College student, Sylvester Oromoni Jnr.

Police Commissioner Odumosu advised members of the public who are unsatisfied with the outcome of the investigation to seek redress appropriately by approaching court of jurisdiction.

Hakeem Odumosu gave the warning while speaking with journalists, emphasizing that the police will not watch any act or omission capable of threatening the peace of the state.

“Much as we commiserate with the bereaved family on the death of their lovely and promising child, it is advised that the protesters and other individuals or groups who are still aggrieved should go to the law court to seek redress instead of taking the law into their own hands.” Odumosu said.

“We only investigated criminal aspect, doctors investigated the medical aspect, the Ministry of Education now investigated that other administrative aspect of the school, that was why the school was shut down and still being shut down.”

The Ijaw Youth Council had on Thursday insisted on getting justice for Oromoni while staging a protest in front of the school, insisting that Dowen College could not resume like others when justice was yet to be served on the matter.
