valenu: Breifly, the student union, of which Afrika was a part of was involved in anti-cult activites...and on the night 20 years ago, the school was invaded by gunmen, suppsoedly cultists, who invaded the hostel, and shot dead several student union leaders, Afrika inclusive. (One of the excos escaped via jumping out of a window, while another exco was busy with Palm wine drinkers club activites elsehwere) It was big news back then (Not an Ife student...an Ife student can tell the tale better). Some inncoent students died too...one was a 500l medical student who was coming out of the bathroom, and was shot dead. Nothing to do with the whole thing.

Here we are 20 years later, and more dan 90% of the students in OAU have no clue who dis guy is, and the killers are somewhere enjoying their lives. NEVER KILL YOURSELF FOR A NIGERIA UNIVERSITY |

I remember the story even though I was still in secondary school at the time. My sister gained admission into OAU two years later, all jambites were made to watch a documentary about the slain students with lots of gory photos. Cultists were the ones running the school before Afrika waged a war against them. Sadly he paid with his life but peace returned to the institution. Very few people will make that kind of sacrifice this day and age. Continue to RIP Afrika 20 Likes 4 Shares |

May their souls rest in peace. Theirs was a truly bold move. A rare act of bravery to protect the reputation of OAU as one of the few Nigerian universities with minimal cult activities. Ife was never a cultism hotspot. Some of these cultists started making brazen attempts to strengthen their nodes at Ife. They were rebuffed & heroically stopped. The supreme price was paid by these rare individuals. Omoyele Sowore (The same one) fought a similar battle in Unilag several years before the OAU heroes. NTA network news even dedicated a portion of their broadcast to that brutal period. Several established cultists were apprehended and brutalized. It was a bold move if you know the Unilag of that era. While the Akoka campus only witnessed sporadic cult rivalry attacks, it was the national focal point where decisions were made. It was also the safe house for wanted cultists across Nigeria. The reprisal was brutal. Sowore was left for dead. The rest is history. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

I was was in university of Ibadan then. Although I can't remember the details again, but I can tell you that this ugly incident had the hands of certain key figures in the school management according to the reports we got. The killing was sponsored by men in the top echelon of the school management in order to clamp down on the SUG activism 10 Likes 3 Shares |
