Sylvester Oromoni who was a student of Dowen College in Lekki, Lagos State, has been buried today, January 27, 2024, amid tears.
According to report, the 12-year-old boy who died after he was allegedly tortured by fellow students in 2021, was buried at his family’s compound in Ogbe-Ijoh, Warri South West Local Government Area of Delta State.
However, no one knows if the family later got justice from the court or not, but the burial attracted several dignitaries from far and near who came in to pay their last respect.
Reverend Goodluck Bayagbon of the God’s Grace Ministry, Warri who read the homily from the book of Isaiah 57:1-2, title, ‘Forever With The Lord’, said the deceased is a true believer in Christ, charging all christians to live a life worthy of emulation.
He also revealed that, “Sylvester Oromoni Jnr has gone to rest with the Lord and free from all evil and calamity of the world. We are not here to weep and mourn over Sylvester but to celebrate a great man, a young man that God almighty loves so much. Sylvester left an indelible mark in the hearts of all men that must be emulated.
“The most important thing about life is that everyone on earth must strive to make heaven because that is a great achievement for everyone, where there is no pain, sorrow, sadness, calamity, worries.
“Sylvester should be emulated according to his brief biography read to us all. He was a good young boy, who cared so much about his fellow students, friends, sisters, brothers and all those who crossed his path.
“He was diligent and was a devout Christian. At his young age he cared for the needs of his fellow students, he was so good both at school and home. Though he left very young but he has achieved the purpose of God who created him. We are here to celebrate him not to mourn. At his age, look at the mammoth crowd that came to bid him farewell to heavens.”
May God continue to rest his soul. Amen.
