This is coming after the Officer in charge of the legal department of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) of the Lagos Police Command, Panti, Yaba, Yetunde Cardoso announced that five students and three staff of the Dowen College in Lekki, Lagos State, have been charged to court over the alleged assault of 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni.
The 57 -year-old self-acclaimed journalist further said that boarding houses are like Big Brother Naija house where people conform and form groups due to peer pressure, revealing that the late Sylvester agreed to be beaten and to drink engine oil so as to join the boys gang.
However, social media users are divided over her comment.
Below are some reactions compiled by The Genius Media Nigeria:
“I’m not a fan of Kemi but 8 out of 10, she hits the target. What makes you think the boy is defenseless? Heads up….according to the story, the boy told his parents they would KILL him if he revealed anything…. Such fear cannot manifest in you if you haven’t been initiated. That is why the Sicilian Mafia make you commit murder to “make your bones”… That is why after all the beatings, our useless Nigerian cults will make you commit robbery, murders sexual assault, battery,arson and lately kidnapping just prove you are worthy. That boy drank the oil. The initiation was too much for him. He was just 12. End of.”
“Truth has always been a bitter pill to swallow”
“See, all this bladadash of consent and gang doesn’t rule out the fact that a crime was committed. It was initially injury from soccer then locked up for days, now it’s a 12 year old consenting to join cult. Ee dẹ beru oloun”
“Madwoman well done! Sometimes your silence makes a lot of sense to many Nigerians”
“I always wait for this woman to support one side so I can pick the other side without stress”
“This woman is wicked and very heartless! Let’s even agree that the boy succumbed to pressure and agreed to join;
1. Isn’t cultism itself a crime in schools at least?
2. Is he old enough to give any kind of consent?
3. Should we now start blaming him for breaking under pressure?
4. Should the other cultists be freed because Sylvester agreed to join their cult and they didn’t force him?
5. Is Kemi Olunloyo seeing the death of a boy as an opportunity to sound controversial and enjoy the cheap popularity?
6. This time I think she went too far”
“People do weird crazy things just to “belong “. Drinking engine oil is nothing. Undergrads in the western world go as far as drinking urine from a frequently used toilet just to be accepted. Useless cults here in Nigeria will make a senator’s son commit armed robbery just to prove his ” ruggedity on high sea”. So why is Kemi’s utterance so hard to believe? As a secondary school boy in the early 90’s, guys in my class were already flying berets right inside a private school (black cat beret mostly). So why is this so hard to injest? Because of all the media publicity? Or the political hijacking of the matter coz its the son of a “big man”? Hmmm.”
“Prison awaiting who? This is a woman that has been right 90% of the time on first hand information. She leaked late Abba Kyari’s death weeks before our useless terrorist presidentless Sudanese/Fulani “presidential steering committee” decided to tell us what the whole world already knew. You people want a change for the better…a change for the better needs warriors with balls of steel but most important, SUPPORT!!! Igboho and Kanu are were they are because of saboteurs. Fela spent years in prison coz he spoke the truth to power. Dele Giwa died coz he called out those in power for their bullsh*t. Even if you don’t have the guts to stand in front of the firing squad, applaud those who do and assure them of retribution in event of their demise. If the aforementioned is too much to ask, then silence is golden.
Nuff said.
