Mother of Late Dowen College Student Succumbs to Prolonged Illness, After Son’s Tragic Death

 

Rosemary Oromoni, the grieving mother of Sylvester Oromoni, the young Dowen College student whose death in 2021 stirred widespread outrage and sorrow, has passed away following a long battle with illness. Sylvester’s death, attributed to bullying, had left an indelible scar on the family, and now, the loss of his mother deepens their tragedy.

A close family member, choosing anonymity, disclosed that Mrs. Oromoni breathed her last on Monday, November 25, 2024. This relative described Rosemary’s two-year battle with heartbreak as profoundly debilitating, citing the immense emotional toll following the loss of her youngest child.

“Since her son’s untimely demise, Mrs. Oromoni carried an unfathomable burden of sorrow,” the source shared, emphasizing how grief severely compromised her well-being. Despite medical intervention and steadfast support from loved ones, she was unable to surmount the overwhelming anguish.

The relative further elaborated on her declining condition, stating, “Her inability to reclaim any semblance of normalcy—she neither ate nor rested adequately—led to a progressive deterioration in her health. Ultimately, her spirit seemed to falter under the weight of unresolved grief.”

Reports indicate that Mrs. Oromoni’s passing has spurred an outpouring of sympathy, with many attributing her untimely death to the relentless pain of losing her son and the protracted quest for accountability. Friends and family recount that she appeared to lose the will to live, her anguish compounded by the absence of closure or justice in Sylvester’s case.

As news of Rosemary’s death spreads, public calls for justice for Sylvester Oromoni Jr. have been reignited, with supporters rallying to lend their voices to the family’s cause. Many view her passing as a poignant emblem of the profound consequences of unaddressed grief and systemic failures that perpetuate such tragedies.

The Oromoni family, now mourning both a cherished son and a devoted matriarch, is left grappling with an unimaginable void. The memory of Rosemary and Sylvester stands as a solemn reminder of the devastating human cost of injustice.

Their story, marked by an unrelenting fight for justice, continues to resonate deeply with a public stirred by their pain. As the family presses on in their pursuit of accountability, the dual loss of mother and son has left them—and many others—in a state of profound shock.
