Speaking on the delopement while addressing journalists on Wednesday in Delta, the father of the late pupil said that he is surprised that bail was granted to them before completion of the police investigation.
He insisted that the 21-day remand period granted the police to investigate the death of his son is not due until December 28, 2021, and he was surprised to hear that they have been released on bail.
“The police are saying that they are not done with their investigation and granting these boys bail will not help with their investigation and they were even planning that after the 21 days if they are not done with the investigation, they will ask for an extension.
“We are surprised that they were granted bail when the days they gave them have not expired. As a parent we are not comfortable with that, although we cannot question the judge,” he said.
Mr Oromoni added that the autopsy results are ready and will be made public in due time.
He also alleged that the school authorities in connivance with the parents of the accused may be working against his quest in seeking justice for his late.
He called on President Muhammadu Buhari, Inspector General of Police, the Lagos State police commissioner, and the Delta State government to ensure that justice prevails on the matter.
