Oromoni’s death: Coalition calls for urgent intervention on violence in schools

The Civil Society Action Coalition on Education for All (CSACEFA) has called on the government and relevant stakeholders to urgently intervene in the reoccurring issues of violence in schools.

The Policy Advisor of the coalition, Mrs Odinakach Ahanonu, made the call in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday.

Ahanonu said it was necessary for Nigeria Security Agencies, the Federal Ministry of Education, Departments and Agencies, the Minister and Commissioners for Education and the Governors to find ways to curb them.

According to her, the coalition is pained by the news of the barbaric torture fed with poisonous substance and leading to the death of 12 years old Sylvester Oromoni who until his death was a Junior Secondary student of Dowen College in Lagos.
