The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, on Sunday called on foreign missions in Nigeria to deny entry to the five students said to have beaten Sylvester Oromoni to death at Dowen College, Lagos.
The president of the association, Mr. Sunday Asefon, made the call in a statement.
NANS also called for the immediate arrest of the students notwithstanding how highly placed their parents might be.
The principal and the house master of Dowen College, the association added, should be arrested and probed.
The statement reads in part: “We equally call for the immediate arrest and interrogations of the students mentioned in the attack that led to the eventual death of Sylvester irrespective of how highly placed their parents are.
“There must not be any sacred cow as all of them must be arrested, adequately interrogated, and charged if found culpable.”
It reads further: “If the allegation against the students is investigated to be true, they must be considered a threat in any country and they do not represent our country Nigeria as we cannot guarantee they will not constitute a greater threat to your country and its people.
“It is therefore important for them to be cleared of any wrongdoing in the death before allowing them access to your countries.
“Also if any of them has sneaked into your country, it is in the best interest of the security of your country to deport such to first clear their name in Nigeria before being given access to stay in your country.”
Sylvester Oromoni died on November 30, 2021, four days to his 12th birthday.
According to his father, the death followed his attack by five students because he refused to join a cult.
The accused students, according to Sylvester Oromoni’s father are Edward Brown, Benjamin Favour, Ansel Temile, Emmanuel and Michael Kashamu.
