In many schools across the globe, students are bullied harshly, putting their mental state in a critical condition. The issue is quite prevalent, and often netizens on social media demand new laws and regulations.
Back in 2021, a video of a 12-year-old boy screaming in pain started to gain attention and later sparked a scandal. Sylvester Oromoni was studying at Dowen College, a boarding secondary school in Lagos. His parents stated in the media that he sustained severe injuries after a school bully beat him when he refused to join a cult. Once the video started to go viral, the school claimed that he was injured during a school football match and had never been bullied.
The parents decided to file a case. They also claimed that their kid had opened up to them and told them he was being bullied right before he passed away. In April 2024, Mikhail Kadiri, a Lagos coroner, ruled that the kid had experienced “avoidable excruciating pain” due to medical and parental negligence.
