Edge’s News: The Death of 11 years old Sylvester Oromoni at Dowen College in Lagos......

We know every country has its issues and going through all sorts with the several variant and mutation of the covid-19 virus, but the killing/murder of a helpless child in a school that is meant protect and care for him will not be accepted.

Sylvester Oromoni was reported to have been beaten to death by his peers at Dowen College for refusing to join a cult. Yes you read it a right a cult at age 11 in a private secondary school, how can this even happen or manifested without the school authorities knowing about it, since they are already claiming not knowing, it means the school is in on it and everyone (Every teacher, worker, cleaner, Owner,) should be arrested immediately and thoroughly investigated, justice must prevail.

The Lagos State government ordered the shutting down of the school.

The school had told his family that the boy was injured while playing football but hospital diagnosis revealed that he sustained internal damages which resulted from the trauma his body endured while he was being beaten. The school is actively covering up a crime that involves a murder of a child, that means there is more to this story and it must be uprooted by any means necessary.

Subsequently, after a series of findings on the sad development which sparked agitations from Nigerians and celebrities.

Governor Sanwo-Olu we implore you to go further than just shutting the schools down, Down College School license should be revoked immediately and all teaching halted. Let’s show the world that every life matter especially that of our future leaders, Sylvester Oromoni might gone on to be Nigeria’s greatest pilot, but we’ll never know because negligence and incompetence.

We @edge are following the story closely as it unfolds, we will keep you updated, justice will be serve.

Below is a Video Interview of Mr. Oromoni

The FCT Minister–Soldier Standoff: A Test of Civil Authority and the Rule of Law

On November 11, 2025, Nigerians watched in disbelief as a video surfaced showing a tense confrontation between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and a group of armed soldiers who blocked his convoy from accessing a disputed piece of land in Gaduwa, Abuja. The incident, brief but dramatic, was more than a moment of political theatre. It struck at the heart of a much bigger issue — the place of the military in a democracy, and the sanctity of civilian authority under the Nigerian Constitution. The Legal Position: Who Was Right? The Minister’s Authority Under Section 302 of the 1999 Constitution and the FCT Act , the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory exercises the executive powers of the President within Abuja. That means the Minister is not just a political appointee — he represents federal executive authority . His duties include overseeing land allocation, urban planning, and the enforcement of development control through the Federal Capital T...

Nigeria: On the Right of Self-Defence and Protection of National Sovereignty

The Federal Republic of Nigeria reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular the maintenance of international peace and security, the respect for the sovereignty and political independence of all States, and the peaceful settlement of disputes.

Kebbi’s 3 a.m. Withdrawal Shows Why President Tinubu’s Security Reforms Can’t Wait

When Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State revealed that security personnel deployed to vulnerable communities were withdrawn at 3:00 a.m.—just 45 minutes before an attack—Nigerians reacted with shock, anger, and a single question that refuses to disappear: Who gave the withdrawal order? It is a fair question. It is also one that may take time, investigation, and institutional honesty to answer. But the Kebbi incident exposes a deeper truth about security management in Nigeria: our command structure is too fragmented for a country battling multi-layered threats. And this, more than anything, validates President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s push for a centralised, technology-driven, and accountable security coordination model. Nigeria’s security agencies—military, police, DSS, civil defence, intelligence units—operate in parallel lanes with overlapping mandates. State governors, despite bearing the title “Chief Security Officer,” have no legal authority over federal forces. This incoheren...
