The father of late Sylvester Oromoni condemns the bail of suspected students involved in the death of his son amidst ongoing investigation.
A Justice of the Peace court docket had granted bail of N1M to the suspected students arrested on the involvement of the late Dowen College scholar.
According to Sylvester’s father, it’s unclear why the court docket that gave the Police 21 days to finish their investigation which elapse on the twenty eighth of December earlier than releasing the students is identical that granted early bail.
“Yesterday I was called that those boys were granted bail by a Magistrate Court in Yaba, Lagos. I said, “why?” I now known as the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State and he advised me; I used to be not conscious, and that they weren’t finished with the investigation.
I known as the DCP in cost of the case who later confirmed to me that the story is true.
But it was a shock to me that the identical choose gave them 21 days which expires on the 28 of this month when the police requested for the remand order. The court docket granted 21 days to maintain these boys.
And the 21 days haven’t expired, and the court docket granted them bail. I’m calling on President Muhammadu Buhari, the Lagos State Government and the Inspector General of Police to please take word.
Secondly, the police mentioned they don’t seem to be finished with the investigation, that granting the boys bail won’t assist their investigation, they’re getting extra details.
And they have been even planning that after the 21 days if they don’t seem to be finished with their investigation, they may ask for an extension. I’m shocked that the court docket granted them bail when the date given has not elapsed.
I’m not a lawyer however what the family is saying is that they need to enable the police to conclude their investigation. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t be granted bail however it’s the court docket that gave the police 21 days” he mentioned.
