| anaben

The autopsy report which was conducted on the corpse of late Sylvester Oromoni,  alleged victim of bullying, at the Dowen College, Lagos,is out.

The report however, exonerated the school’s House Master and other students  alleged to have a hand in the murder.

Consequently, the suspects who have been in Police custody at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence  Department, Yaba, for over three weeks, were released on bail last week Thursday.

Recall that the deceased, who was a Junior Secondary School 2 student of the school and a boarder, was rushed to his parents home in Warri, Delta State two months ago, due to some injuries he sustained while playing football, according to the school. But his parents claimed that their son revealed that the injuries were inflicted on him by some senior students who wanted to make him join their cult group.

Late Sylvester, died few days before his 12th birthday. He died from internal injuries  which included kidney enlargement.

In the course of investigation into the alleged murder, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, Hakeem Odumosu, revealed that the autopsy report released did not indicate that late Sylvester was murdered.

He however said that the case was still under investigation, which would included a toxicology test that needed to be conducted  on the corpse.

He said,

We have gone through the medical aspect  which is the post mortem.

Post mortem was carried out in Delta and Lagos states.  The first one done in Delta State was only witnessed by parents of the deceased.

“But after I held a meeting with the parties concerned, at the instance and directive of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu  and my Inspector- General of Police, IGP Alkali Usman Baba, the second post mortem was carried out in Lagos.

“The corpse was brought from Delta State to Lagos, where the Post mortem was carried out with all the parties involved , that is : parents of the deceased, parents of the students accused, the school authority  and government. These were the four parties that witnessed the post mortem. And the result is out.

“The report of the Post Mortem did not bring out the issue of murder on anybody.

“Besides the result of the autopsy, the court order that we got has elapsed  and we have released the house master and others on bail,  because there was nothing that indicted them of murder.

“It is only a murder case that is not bailable. Every other offences are bailable. They have been in custody for more than twenty days and that is infringing on their fundamental human rights. Since medical and legal reports have not indicted them so far, I think there is need to allow them have their freedom because bail is not the end of the case.

“Another forensic test known as toxicology , will be carried out on the corpse”Odumosu informed

The toxicology test would reveal the concoction that was allegedly forced into the deceased mouth which peeled his lips. The test would be conducted abroad.

He explained that “Toxicology test was being done in Nigeria before, precisely at the Lagos State medical facility in Lagos Island. But after the EndASRS crisis, it is conducted outside the country.

“Until that one is effectively done, we won’t know the final report. But with the interim report, nothing showed  murder”, AIG Odumosu stated.

UK police apologise for killing of footballer Atkinson

UK police apologise for killing of footballer Atkinson
| anaben

Six months after one of the officers of a police force in western England was jailed over the death of ex-Premier League footballer, Dalian Atkinson, the force formally apologised on Monday to the family of the deceased.

Atkinson was 48 when he died in hospital in 2016 about an hour after policeman Benjamin Monk shot at him three times — including once for 33 seconds — and kicked him twice in the head.

The officer, Monk was sentenced in June to eight years in prison for causing the death of the former Aston Villa star, with a judge saying jail time was necessary to maintain public confidence in the police.

Pippa Mills, who became head of West Mercia Police in September, wrote to Atkinson’s family saying she was “deeply sorry for the devastating impact” of Monk’s conduct.

“A police uniform does not grant officers immunity to behave unlawfully or to abuse their powers,” she wrote in the letter.

Mills acknowledged that Atkinson’s rights were breached under the European Convention on Human Rights.

In reaction, the family’s lawyer, Kate Maynard, said in a statement that the official apology was “welcomed and overdue”.

“With the first conviction of a serving police officer on a manslaughter charge connected with his policing duties in over 30 years, it is hoped that this will serve as a deterrent, and also embolden those who seek police accountability,” she said.

Atkinson died in hospital after police were called to his father’s home in Telford, north of Birmingham, in August 2016.

The judge at Monk’s trial discovered that the mental state of Atkinson — who also played for Sheffield Wednesday, Ipswich Town and Real Sociedad in Spain — “had suddenly and dramatically deteriorated”.

He ruled that the Monk’s actions had constituted excessive force.

During the hearings, it was also found out that Monk had twice been found guilty of gross misconduct but allowed to keep his job
