Following his death, five students of Dowen College and some housemasters were arrested and detained at the Homicide Section of the State Criminal and Investigations Department, Panti Street, Yaba.

Giving an update on police investigations to unravel circumstances surrounding the mysterious death on Friday at the Command Headquarters, Ikeja, the State Police boss, Hakeem Odumosu, said the command had sent samples of the deceased overseas to toxicologist to carry out a detailed scientific examination on it.

Odumosu who was speaking on the sideline said the outcome of the report would ascertain the actual cause of death of Sylvester Oromoni.
