He equally said if the inquest was not concluded before the end of the year, he would be compelled to withdraw from it to take a different legal step to seek justice.
The bereaved father added that the college had since the commencement of the inquest put a lot of things in order in the school premises which were not available at the material time.that both the school and the family had been advised not to speak to the media over the issue. He said, “I am surprised that it is in a newspaper because the coroner inquest had advised that both the family and Dowen college should refrain from any media statement. And that is what we are still obeying. I am surprised their own family did that in the media. That was the instruction as of the time we started, and we believe that both parties are supposed to adhere to it; going to the media to make that comment is shocking to us. I have not seen the statement.
The Commissioner for Information, Gbenga Omotoso, said no one could influence the process of the coroner inquest adding that the state government would ensure justice was done. He said, “It is something that is very painful to us. The state government is also working day and night to make sure that we do not have that kind of incident again. As a layman, I do not see how easy it is to shorten a legal process. Coroner inquest in my own view is statutory. It is not what someone can influence or say it should end on a particular day. And once that process takes off, I do not see how the government can hasten or delay it. We just allow it to take its course.
You people are a disgrace … It’s literally one year and nothing has been done?
So sad 😞
