The state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, however stated that a Coroner Inquest would still be carried out on the cause of the death of the student.
The Lagos police boss, while speaking with newsmen on Friday, said that the two autopsy results–the one from the deceased student’s family and that of all the parties involved and the Lagos State government showed that Sylvester died a natural death.
He also stated that the toxicology tests from Delta State and the one in Lagos State did not point out any sign of murder on the body of the student.
The police boss however said that 13 pathologists and consultants from all the parties involved were present during the conduct of the autopsy test in Lagos.
“At the end of diligent investigation carried out so far, there is no evidence to establish a case of torture, bullying and forceful application of poisonous substance against the suspects. All the suspects denied the allegations of torture, bullying and administering of poisonous substance to the deceased. “Allegation that the deceased was being forced to join a cult group was also not established as other students interviewed denied this.”
He warned warned those threatening to go to any length to protest the outcome of the investigations to go the legal way or be ready to face the full wrath of the law.
