A teacher at the college, Mr Ahmed Ayomo, made the disclosure yesterday before an Ikeja Corona’s Court unraveling the circumstances surrounding the student’s death.
The student died on November 30, 2021.
His family is alleging that he died from injuries he sustained in an attack by five senior students of Dowen College for refusing to join a cult.
The family also alleges that the late student was forced to drink an obnoxious substance by his attackers.
Advice by the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions released on January 4 disputed the allegations.
It stated that an autopsy revealed the cause of the student’s death as acute bacterial pneumonia due to severe sepsis.
