The Lagos State Government waded into the Dowen College crisis on Friday and ordered its indefinite closure over the controversy about the death of a 12 year-old student, Sylvester Oromoni.
Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo, announced the closure after a meeting with the School’s Management and Staff.
The college on its own had announced a two-day closure, today and Monday, asking the students to use the time to study for the forthcoming exams.
Adefisayo said the college will remain shut pending the outcome of an investigation into the death of Master Sylvester Oromoni (Jnr), a student of the school.
Adefisayo called for calm among the stakeholders, stressing that no effort will be spared in getting to the root of the incident.
