Five students of Dowen College in Lekki, Lagos, who were arrested by the Police in connection to the death of 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, have been remanded in a juvenile home.
Oromoni Jnr. died of complications, last week, as a result of injuries sustained from an attack by a group of five senior colleagues for allegedly refusing to join a cult group in the school.
The students were remanded, following an order obtained by the police from the Yaba Magistrates court.
It quoted the spokesperson of Lagos State Police Command, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, as confirming the development but stating that investigation into the matter is still ongoing.
“They have not been arraigned yet. They were only remanded in a juvenile home pending the conclusion of investigation into the matter,” Ajisebutu said.
