The Oromoni family is today enveloped in deep reflection as they commemorate a painful dual anniversary, four years since the tragic death of their son, Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, and one year since the passing of his mother, Mrs. Rosemary Oghenevwaire Sylvester Oromoni.
According to family sources, the two remembrance dates fall only days apart, intensifying the emotional weight of what they describe as a “two-in-one remembrance.” The burden of losing both mother and child in such a short period remains a sorrow no family should ever carry.
Sylvester Jnr, a student of Dowen College, Lekki, died on November 30, 2021, under circumstances that shook the nation and ignited widespread outrage, renewed conversations about bullying, and persistent calls for justice. His death remains one of the most haunting and emotionally charged cases in Nigeria’s recent history.
His mother, Mrs. Rosemary Oromoni, fondly remembered as a gentle, loving pillar of the family, also passed on a year ago and she is being honoured today as always. Many believe the devastation of losing her son contributed heavily to her decline, adding another layer of tragedy to an already unbearable story.
For the family, friends, and supporters who have stood firmly with them over the years, this double remembrance is not merely a date on the calendar but a fresh reopening of wounds that never fully heal. It is a quiet moment of reflection, one dedicated to love, memory, resilience, and the enduring hope for justice.
Across the country, sympathisers are expected to join the family in prayers and solidarity, as renewed calls echo for closure and accountability in the case of Sylvester Jnr.
As the Oromonis mark these solemn anniversaries, they hold tightly to cherished memories and the comforting belief that mother and son now rest together in eternal peace.
May their spirits continue to guide their loved ones, and may the family find strength in a love that endures beyond loss.
