He however, described Oromoni Jnr., as a brilliant, amiable, truthful, respectful and promising child, while stating that his parents are good Christians who are law abiding.
“We believe that running to the court is the best place and that is why they must not trivialize this issue,” he said.

Recall that Oromoni Jnr., died on Nov 30, 2021, at a private hospital in Warri after alleged health complications at Dowen College, Lagos.
The bereaved family alleged that the student died from injuries he suffered as a result of bullying by five senior students of the college.
The family also alleged that he was not treated by the school in a hospital.
However, Dowen College said that the JS2 student was not bullied or injured by any student but was injured during a football match with fellow students
