July 10, 1999: the day devil drank blood on OAU campus!
Forty-two days after President Olusegun Obasanjo was
sworn in, five students - 21 year old George Akinyemi
Iwilade (Afrika), Yemi Ajiteru, Ekede Efe, Eviano Ekelemu,
Babatunde Oke - were murdered by suspected cultists led
by one Efosa of the Confraternity from the
University of Benin in an attack believed to have been
sponsored by the then VC, Prof. Wale Omole.

The then Students' Union president, Lanre Adeleke was said to have escaped being killed by jumping from the third floor of Block 8 of the Obafemi Awolowo Hall where his room was but the Secretary General, Afrika, was unlucky as he was matcheted to death in his room 281.

Their offence was that they were against anti-student
policies of the management which included astronomical
increase in tuition fee and poor welfare conditions. Great Ife responded by mobilising heavily to arrest the perpetrators. They were forced to hand them over to the Police but unfortunately, sixteen years after, those who killed the Iwo, Osun State, born 400 law student and four others their killers are yet to be booked.

That OAU basks in the euphoria of being Africa's most
peaceful campus is not due to the magnanimity of the
management, it is the consciousness of the 'ever-tatan'
Great Ife to stand against anti-social behaviour.

For the whole duration of my degree, I lived on campus. Till
now, if there is no night on campus; you walk and work any
time you want. Nobody can intimidate or harass you except
you decide to keep silent. All what you need do is to popularize the case by shouting on top of your voice.
Passers-by would wait and before you know it, the shout of
"Awo cafe" will rent the air. Awo cafe is our court where
submissions would be heard on the matter...

As Great Ife all over the world, both living and dead, remember those who laid down their lives for the peace we
enjoyed and the current members of OAU community enjoy,
may their killers never know peace anywhere they are and
may the wrath of God descend on them.

Afrika wa da (where is our Afrika?)
Ao ri (He is no where to be found)
Ni 'bo l'olo... (where has he gone to)
Rest in peace, OAU martyrs....

The political symposium is already ongoing in Amphi Theatre OAU,,to be followed by candlelight procession and bonfire this night at Anglomoz carpack.

The mods should move this topic to the front page, as this is a very historic moment in OAU and Nigeria, This is an event that put Nigeria to a stop.

We must not allow this history to pass us by, mods this should be on the front page to sensitize everybody about anti cultism.
