Claimed to have been born on February 16, 1971, OMOYELE SOWORE claimed to be a 10 yrs old boy in december 24 1980, with more CONTROVERSIAL dates in when he started his primary education.




Not many, among those born of women, would still remain on their feet, shouting, if allowed to taste some of the bitter pills he had to swallow while occupying the exalted office of President of the Student Union of the institution. It was during his tenure that a battle line was drawn between cult members and law abiding students at Akoka. Taking the bull by the horns, he led the struggle in his own domain at the without any doubt, the cultists were put on the back foot. For the 'Great Akokites" and the generality of Nigerian undergraduates, this was a monumental victory. There was a new lease of life, freshness was in the air, and like many other students, he was in his room preparing for a semester examination when the story line changed and this happened: 'Cult members numbering 150, at about 6: 30pm on Friday March 11, 1994 attacked me. But hang on a minute, that wasn't all. 'I was stripped naked, stabbed on my head and injected with unknown chemical substances," before the very students he fought for, rescued him.

What would an ordinary person do in such a circumstance? Throw his hands in the air and give up the struggle he embraced as a 10 year boy who saw a lot of injustices, culminating in policemen raping girls in his hometown of Kiribo on december 24, 1980 and bringing false charges against the young men and ruining many careers in the process http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/oyedoyin/2003/021703p.html
