Barely one week after Damino Damoche, the final year student of the Lagos State University, Ojo, was killed by suspected cultists in front of the institution's gate, another student was Thursday, murdered by suspected cultists on reprisal attack.
Although the deceased identified as Karim Abiodun, was reportedly not a student of LASU, but he was alleged to be a member of Buccaneer confraternity, whose members were said to be at war with members of the Eiye confraternity.
Report said the cultists stormed Karim's home located on Afolabi street around PPL in Okokomaiko area at about 4a.m yesterday, from where he was chased to Peoples bus-stop around Ajagbandi and shot dead. The late Karim, a second year student of Economic Education at the Lagos State College of Education, LACOED, would be the second person to be killed during reprisal attacks by warring cultists since the death of Damoche. The first person shot dead, was identified simply as Kabiru. He was reportedly killed in the presence of his mother and siblings at their Abeokuta street home, also around PPL, Sunday night.The Police as gathered, have arrested a member of a vigilante group in the area in connection with yesterday's killing. The suspect whose identity could not be immediately ascertained, reportedly admitted to have seen when the late Karim was being chased. He was also said to have identified one of the assailants .Meantime, students of other institutions living around PPL have vacated their homes for fear of same fate befalling them. Following the recent development, President of the Lagos State University Students' Union, Comrade Ibrahim Agomeji, has advised students to vacate off-campus hostels within PPL, Iba, Casidi, Franklass and Igbo-elerin.. According to him: "This became imperative as the lives and properties of students are no longer secured in these off-campus hostels around the university. It is beyond the powers of the university to provide you with security in your various off-campus hostels. Since the Police and the relevant authorities have failed to do this, I advise you return home to your parents, thereby coming to school from your various homes", he said.

ReplyDeleteu ar an idiot 4 saying dat. is damoche a muslim?
ReplyDeleteLife without Christ is filled with crisis. Let the living cultist renounce their evil ways and seek refuge with Christ. It is only then that they can really have the peace that the world can not give. Living as a cultist is living in perpetual fear. It is fear that led many into cultism and yet the fear worsen as you join. Pls save your parent the anguish of loosing you prematuredly by renouncing cultism and starting a cleaner life altogether. It doesnt pay to "BELONG". A word is enough for the wise.
ReplyDeleteMay God touch their hearts.
ReplyDeleteMay Allah in his infinite mercy forgive you for insulting his religion. May Allah open your blind eyes so that can see clearly. Muslims are not in any way and is a religion that has always talk of peace. let me remind you that the name Islam mean peace. May Allah help those that are ignorant so that they can learn.

Delete2nd to last anonymous before me. Why does the Boko Haram members always use Allah in their statement if truly it is a religion of peace? WHy do they say Allah sent them
ReplyDeletefor anonymous 6:30 pm above, yes, religion of peace. Islam is bigger than the recent war on muslims for economic power all over the world. In Nigeria, Boko haram(BH) just because of 2015. by the time APC works and PDP is on the run you will see the havoc PDP/BH will wreck on Southwest. then you will be able to differentiate between religion and politics.
