cults are gradually coming back to OAU. Ife town is known for rituals and cultism. It is impossible to eradicate cultism there

Perhaps outside but not inside. You there there are other students apart from OAU students in ife. During my years there, i never encountered any cultist. But ordinary one visit to OOU, ha my experience on that visit eh, no be here.

If others did not die, would you have the freedom to do anything today
Please mind what you say and how you say it.

well am smarter than you obviously and i dont believe that scam and i repeat die at your own risk and oh why are you still alive

Oh! I was in JSS class then, I used to read the story inside Alaroye (Yoruba newspaper then)RIP to the Heroes

dominique:
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

Do you think that more people would make that kind of sacrifice in a preemptive manner if the documentary is shown regularly, monuments erected in the school after them, streets/buildings named after them etc

dejio42:
I watched a yoruba movie about this. 5 years back. Neva knew it was history


RIP Afrika


We are all heros OP

I think the title is Omo University produced by LaLa.

dayoyemi:
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

I was one of those that jumped off block 8 Awo hall
It wasn’t sponsored by anybody thou we all believed Omole who happened to be Vc then was a member of confranity
It got a point where you can’t even walk at night on campus,killing here and there so Africa and Legacy successful set up a security team which comprises of heavily huge students
So they successfully apprehended 9 cultist and parades them around the campus unclad
About 4 months later we were attacked around block 8 and 5, africa was sleeping with his girl friends so they were both killed,Legacy wasn’t around
About 5 student lost their life while about 200 injured,it wasn’t a night to remember but if I can remember those cultist came from Unilag to take revenge for their members arrested and paraded unclad 4 months earlier
They killed africa,Yemi,Babatunde,Godfrey and Africa’s girl Friend

Name the 8 suspects. Thankfully a murder charge does not have statute of limitations. They will still get their day in court.

Outside always have a way of influencing inside. The indegenes have their sons and daughters in the campus too

AwkaetitiBabe:
My Alma mater.

It's no beans graduating from OAU. Miss the amphitheater shows, night readings, new buka etc

Why are you telling us? abi Nah only you graduate there

Mehn just like yesterday, I remember everything vividly.

Amalekki:
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) led and 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.

The labour of our heroes! Real men & real women!

Please use this day to ask yourself what you stand for? What have you ever boldly & physically agitated for without a promise of personal gains or tribal motivation, which is also personal?

Rextizz:
Why are you telling us? abi Nah only you graduate there

Simply proud of the school ni.

Thanks for this bit. I just googled it and got this:

The massacre

On the night of 9 July 1999 a number of student groups held a party at Obafemi Awolowo University. The 'Mirror Online' reports: "members of Kegites Club on the campus, Man O’ war members, and various other student leaders— both former and incumbent, gathered at the open ground between Angola and Mozambique Halls." Later in the night many of the party-goers began occupying the cafeteria of Awolowo Hall whilst others returned to their halls of residence to sleep.

At between 3:00 and 3:30 am (now 10 July 1999) a large number of cultists (reported to be between 22 and 40) of the confraternity arrived to carry out a preplanned assault on the university with the intention of carrying out the assassinations of several prominent members of the student union. Allegations that these assassinations were sponsored by the university's vice chancellor, Wale Omole, remain to this day but it is unclear if this is the case. It is said "one of the cultists, Kazeem Bello, aka Kato, confessed that Wale Omole had a hand in their July 10 dastardly operation."

Upon arriving at the university the cultists "drove through the main gate and proceeded to the car park next to the Tennis Courts in the Sports Center. They disembarked there and went on foot along a bush path to Awolowo Hall, where they violently interrupted the gyration, firing guns and also wielding axes and cutlasses."

Although the order of the events that followed vary from account to account (in terms of who was killed in what order) it is clear that following the assault 4 people were left dead, another died from gunshot wounds later, one more survived from a gunshot wound and "Twenty-five others received minor injuries, which were sustained during the stampede out of the Awolowo Hall cafeteria and later on during the attack."

The Mirror Online reports: "The victims, which included the then Students’ Union Secretary General, George Yemi Iwilade, (fondly called Afrika); 400 level medical student, Eviano Ekelemu; a graduating student, Yemi Ajiteru; 100-Level Philosophy student, Babatunde Oke, and Ekpede Godfrey were gunned down by the “marauding beasts” in Blocks 5 and 8, Awolowo Hall." Prof. Roger Makanjuola writes: "Tunde Oke was still alive but died on the operating table. Four others, George Iwilade, Yemi Ajiteru, Efe Ekede and Eviano Ekelemu, were brought in dead. Eviano Ekelemu bled to death from gunshot wounds to the groin and thigh. The other three died from gunshot wounds to the head."

During the attack several accounts state the members were heard to be "shouting, “Legacy, come out!”" referring to the suspended Students’ Union President, Lanre Adeleke. Additional targets of the attacks are described also. Prof. Roger Makanjuola's account states the same and he also writes: "During the course of the incident, the attackers also shouted the names of “Afrika”, George Iwilade, and “Dexter”, the Chief of the Kegites, demanding that they come out."

Of the targets of the massacre Lanre Adeleke (Legacy) managed to escape by jumping from a balcony after hearing the gunfire. “Dexter”, the Chief of the Kegites, also escaped unharmed. George Iwilade (Afrika), the Secretary-General of the Students’ Union and a Law student was not so lucky. Upon entering his room the "shot him immediately in the head. Then they smashed his head with their axe to make sure he was dead".

It is reported George Iwilade (Afrika) was the only successfully assassinated victim. "Afrika, who was said to have carried out the arrest (relating to the incident on Saturday, 7 March 1999), was mercilessly butchered while the other four were just unfortunate victims"

Prof. Roger Makanjuola gives the order of events as been: "They first entered Room 184, where they shot and killed Efe Ekede, a Part II Psychology student. In Room 230, they shot Charles Ita, a Part II Law student. A group of the attackers then shot Yemi Ajiteru, a Part II Religious Studies student, through the head in the corridor outside the Kegites’ headquarters. In Room 273, they found George Iwilade (Afrika), the Secretary-General of the Students’ Union and a Law student, and shot him through the head, along with another occupant, Tunde Oke, a Part 1 student of Philosophy, who was shot in the abdomen.

When the attackers got to Room 271, the room allocated to the suspended Students’ Union President, Lanre Adeleke (Legacy), they found that he had escaped. Legacy was in his room when he heard the first gun shots..... The band of thugs proceeded to Fajuyi Hall on foot, where they shot and killed one more student. That individual, Eviano Ekelemo, a medical student, was certainly not a student activist, but they shot him anyway.". However, the order in which the victims were killed varies in various testimonies by a number of witnesses.

Prof. Roger Makanjuola's account of the cultist's escape is: "The murderers left Fajuyi Hall on foot and went through the bush path behind the Hall back to their vehicles. They drove to the Students’ Union building, which they ransacked. They returned to their vehicles and drove out of the University through the main gate. The security staff, having heard gunfire, fled for their lives. Thus the exit of the marauding thugs was unchallenged."

Cults gone wild! A campus suffers from the rise of cults, and the students suffer from terror and murder. Can the administrators overcome the challenge of the cults?

Sowore was beaten up and then injected with 'an unknown substance'

Have respected the guy since that time. Took guts to stand up to such people

AwkaetitiBabe:

I didn't school in Nigeria, my parents wanted me in OAU but I told them it can never happen, I had a cousin that attended OAU during Afrika's time and he told me how tough the school was, about cultism and all that back then, that's why I got discouraged. I hate anything cultism.

I watched omo university too. Just forgot the title.
It was then I knew Lala was an OAU student at that time

It's still the same story you are reading online..

There is a Larry Obichie who is a Manager with PWC in Cyprus. He looks like he will be the same age as these boys 20yrs later. PWC should be notified if he’s the one. His LinkedIn picture is online.

Brother, please don't say what you don't know. No lady was killed in the attack. The victims were all guys. And please don't tell us the school management knows nothing about it. The guys apprehended stated categorically that Prof. Wale Omole sent them. The VC was forced to resign after. You can check YouTube for Lanre Legacy's interview with Sahara Reporters. Please, be guided.

Olakanmi Ogundele works with Sujimoto. He must be Sujimoto’s relative. They have the same surname
