As investigations continue into the last week shooting at University of Lagos, the police in Lagos State have identified the student killed at the New Hall Hostel of the university as Tunde Atewogbade.
Atewogbade, who is also known as Eleyele, was said to be an extra year student studying Physics in the Faculty of Sciences. However, the school‘s Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Olukayode Amund, had told PUNCH METRO that he was in Faculty of Education.
He had said, “The boy that died, according to what I heard, was supposed to be an extra year student of the Faculty of Education, Department of Science and Technology Education. I‘m yet to confirm from the head of department whether they have lost a student or not.”
It was also gathered that the other student shot was still alive at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba, and not dead as being speculated on the campus.
Although our correspondent was unable to get his name, it was gathered that the student was fondly called General Bosco on the campus.
The dean had also said that the student, from the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics, was alive.
However, a search through the Internet on Atewogbade revealed that he is believed to be a member of one of the cult groups involved in the shooting, the Eiye Confraternity. Some of his friends addressed him as FC1.
It was discovered that before the shooting, Atewogbade and some of his Facebook friends had been discussing the activigties of another cult group, the Black Axe. A day before the shooting, Atewogbade and his friends wrote on Atewogbade‘s wall that they were ready to ‘do some films on the campus.’
While different reactions had continued to pour on Atewogbade’s wall, some of the reactions, suspected to be from his close friends, suggested that they favoured a reprisal.
Most of Atewogbade‘s close friends on FB keep reminding one another that, “Don‘t forget to bring your passport to the Friday show.”
But the spokesman of the state police command, Mr. Samuel Jinadu, said that the police were aBosom of all the developments in the institution.
“We are fully on the ground and we are making headways in our investigations. I cannot reveal them to you in order not to jeopardise our investigation, but we shall nip any problem in the bud in that school,” he said.
