The remains of late Mrs/Evangelist. Rosemary Oromoni, the wife of Hon. Chief Sylvester Oromoni, the Executive Chairman Warri South West LGA and the mother of late Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, the Dowen College student who died under controversial circumstances in 2021 after he was allegedly bullied by fellow students would be committed to mother earth at her husband's compound in Ogbe-ljoh Town, headquarters of Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State on the 9th August, 2025.
She died at the age of 57, leaving behind her husband, children, grandchildren, sisters brothers and many relatives.
According to the burial programme signed by Hon. Ebike Oromoni for the family and Keyness Oromoni for the children, stated as follows:
_Thursday 7th August, 2025: Night of Tribute at the family compound by Estate, opposite Oasis Hotel, Warri.
_Friday 9th August, 2025: Funeral Service at Ogbe-ljoh Town, headquarters of Warri South-West LGA.
Reception follows immediately after interment at the family compound by Estate, opposite Oasis Hotel, Warri.
Mrs Oromoni died in November 2024, three years after her son's tragic death. Reports say she battled depression and high blood pressure following the loss of her son and the long legal fight that followed.
Her son, Sylvester, became the centre of national attention after his death in November 2021. His family claimed he was beaten and forced to drink a toxic substance by seniors at Dowen College, Lagos. The school denied the claims, saying he got injured while playing football.
The case dragged for years with multiple autopsies giving conflicting reports. While an earlier autopsy suggested chemical poisoning, a Lagos coroner later ruled that Sylvester died of natural causes from sepsis. The students accused were eventually cleared, and no one was held responsible.
The Oromoni family, unhappy with the outcome, refused to bury their son for over two years. He was eventually laid to rest in Warri in January 2024. Just months later, his mother passed away.
