A final-year student of the Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ganiyu Oloyede, has been killed by hoodlums suspected to be cult members during a mayhem unleashed in Ijagun, Ijebu Ode area of Ogun State on Saturday.
It was learnt that the cult members, who were armed with cutlasses and guns, at about 12pm invaded Abapawa – an area off the campus – and chased students, during which the final-year was hacked to death.
Oloyede was said to be a 400-level student of Social Studies in TASUED.
It was learnt that Oloyede was hacked to death by the cult members because his girlfriend, whose name could not yet be ascertained, was beaten up by one of the cult members, and the victim had reportedly challenged the assault.
The cult members later mobilised to the hostel where Oloyede, who was preparing for his teaching practice stayed and killed him.
A female student and eyewitness, who gave her name only as Bisola, said Oloyede, popularly known as Agunrege, was killed as a result of the cult clash between Aye and Aloera confraternities.
She said, “The crisis started at about 12pm in Abapawa in Ijagun. The area has several students’ hostels. I saw the boys running around with cutlasses. They were later said to be Aye and Aloera cult members.
“They chased Ganiyu (Oloyede) to a corner and cut him with cutlasses until he died. What started the fight was that Ganiyu had a girlfriend who was beaten up few days ago by one of the cult members. The cult member was said to be interested in the lady.”
“Ganiyu had protested the beating of his girlfriend by the cult member and the culprit went to invite his friends, who attacked Ganiyu. Students are still in fear because the cult members are threatening to unleash more mayhem.”
