Edward Brown’s Mum Cries Out Over Son’s Involvement In Sylvester Oromoni Death

Ms Oluchi Sunday, mother of Dowen College student, Edward Brown, has denied his involvement in the alleged attack on Sylvester Oromoni.

Sylvester, 11, died on Tuesday, November 30, after he was allegedly attacked by some of his seniors in the school. Since his death made news, names of some students he reportedly called before he passed have been shared online.

Edward’s mum, Ms Oluchi Sunday, has released a statement denying her son’s involvement in the unfortunate incident.

Read her statement below…

It has come to my attention that some individuals caused rumours to be peddled on social media platforms suggesting that my son Edward Brown is one of the students allegedly involved in the beating of the late Sylvester Oromoni Jr at a Dowen College hostel, which resulted in his untimely death.

To set the record straight, I wish to bring the following facts to the public notice, which demonstrate that such rumours are false, malicious and lack any basis whatsoever:

1. My son is a day student and has never been a boarder.

2. Because my son is a day student, he was not on the school premises at the time when the unfortunate incident occurred, precisely on the night of 21st November, 2021, during a weekend and so, could not have been in the hostel as alleged.

3. In a social media post made on 1st November 2021, on the deceased’s elder brother’s Instagram page, “greatoromonii”, five names, including Dowen College were mentioned before the conclusion: “… just know he called your names before he died”. My son’s name was not among those names.

As a result of these false and malicious rumours, my son and I have been under constant attack via social media, with insults and threats being hurled at us daily. This has caused us much emotional distress and mental trauma.

Therefore, on behalf of myself and my son, Edward Brown, I hereby demand that managers of social media and other platforms where the false and libellous rumours are circulating, immediately retract the offending posts and tender a public apology to us.

It's a question of raising children to be God fearing, responsible, respectful and humble. Orientation starts from the home. Discipline is the foundation of a responsible child. The foundation you lay today determines your child's future.

When they said social media needs to be regulated, you people were shouting nepotism. Now every dick, Jack and harry that owns a phone and has access to data can type rubbish online. Congratulations on your world of free will and freedom of speech.
