Sylvester and Iyun Speak at Borough Council Meeting

James Leavy for the Daily Collegian writes:

The State College Borough Council meeting on Sept. 9 began on an emotion-filled note when the parents of the late Osaze Osagie delivered statements on their son's death and the subsequent investigation.

Osagie's mother, Iyunolu Osagie, began by thanking those who helped and reached out to her and her husband Sylvester since their son's death. She also thanked the council for giving them a platform to speak. Iyunolu then began to discuss District Attorney Bernie Cantorna's report and the internal investigation conducted by the State College Police Department on the case.

“Based on the very findings in the two reports, I find it hard to believe that we’re left with the conclusions arrived at, where police officers are totally exculpated of any wrongdoing," she said.
