Earlier in the proceeding, Oromoni Senior told the court that he did not call anybody to massage the deceased leg but to examine the leg.

When he was cross-examined by one of the accused student lawyer, Mr. Godwin Omoaka (SAN), the witness maintained that the school had told them that the boy had muscle pull while playing football. But, the deceased was massaged in the school several times not in the house.

Coroner Magistrate Kadri however condemned how the matter was being portrayed on social media. He charged the media to report responsibly, noting that all those social media reports were distractions which could not stop him from due diligence.

Subsequently, he listed some witnesses to be summoned which include; the deceased roommate, Prof. John Obafunwa, Dr. Amos Fabanwo, the school nurse, the students who allegedly played football with the deceased, Investigation Police officer ( Warri), and Dr. Clement Vhriterhire, the pathologist in Warri, among others.
