Aksally: I was in a Northern school then. I remembered that was the period every VC, Rector and Provost were organising crusade in various campuses and fake cultists were submitting their arms. Am talking between 600 and 1000 students coming out to confess of being cultist. i think i heard of a mass renunciation of cultism around that time. |

Ola Johnson: Seeing a cultist being beating or a beaten cultist in OAU sends a serious warning to cultists. Ife no dey take sh1t. all this beating, stripping people n.aked on suspicion of theft, is foreign to ife, as far as i know. must have been started by particular sets. |

longjon: Was in FUTA at the time. Those guys left quite a legacy. I also remember that medical student SUG presido who stayed out of school for some years due to problem with authorities. What's his name again ? fullblast: Is it Antony Fashayo or Dr 3As? here's his interview: FORMER Students’ Union president of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Anthony Fashayo a.k.a Tony Fash, who was expelled in 1996 due to his uncompromising radicalism as a student leader, will be rounding off his medical programme at the university after 21 years this academic session. In this interview with IBIKUNLE ISAAC, he recalls the events that led to his expulsion from school, his eventual reinstatement and life in detention under military rule.

During the search for the culprits, the policemen who went along with the students consciously stayed back whenever the students wanted to enter dangerous areas. For example, the day before the funeral, we heard again the jungle drums (a signal that the cultists were at large). When the policemen were told to come along, it took a lot of persuasion before they would follow. When they got near the source of the drumbeats, the drumming suddenly stopped After they shot [one of the victims], they were heard to have said that "the mosquito has died!" from an eyewitness account. mosquito is a cultist term. |

the day before the funeral, we heard again the jungle drums (a signal that the cultists were at large) meaning they were under observation the whole time by the cultists. i dont think the official story adds up, and from this thread, its obvious the cultists are up to something. |
Re: July 10 Cult Attack In OAU, Ile-Ife by tpia5: 3:00am On Jul 11, 2013 |
for those insisting its the custom in ife to strip people n.aked for whatever reason: However, while Omole’s direct link to the OAU carnage could be said to be just an allegation, it is an indisputable fact that his administration created an enabling atmosphere for the attack. For the eight years he spent in office, Omole did not show any seriousness in fight against campus cultism, rather [size=14pt]it was commonplace for cultists apprehended by students to get their way back to the university unscratched[/size]. While student activists were expelled for leading students in various demands, it was on record that no cultist was punished by the Omole-led management. barbarism is an imported concept. |
Re: July 10 Cult Attack In OAU, Ile-Ife by tpia5: 3:04am On Jul 11, 2013 |
It should be noted that campus cultism had not always been pronouncedly violent until 1980s, and this change coincided with a period when governments started unleashing serious attacks on university education. This began with the introduction of some outrageous charges and later, in 1986, the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP), which have now been transformed into a general neo-liberal economic programme. http://www.socialistworld.net/doc/3632 |

On the night of 9 July 1999, the Kegites, members of the Palm Wine Drinkers’ Club, held a “gyration” (party) in the cafeteria of Awolowo Hall. The party was in full swing, when, at around 3.30am (now 10 July), a group of masked individuals, wearing black clothing, drove through the main gate and proceeded to the car park next to the Tennis Courts in the Sports Centre. 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. The group was probably all young men, although there is a persistent story of at least one woman among them. Some of the partygoers were shot, though none of them was killed. The partygoers ran for their lives, a few actually throwing themselves through glass doors. http://www.igbofocus.co.uk/Insured_By_the_Mafia_by_Oluseg/insured_by_the_mafia_by_olusegun_adeniyi.html |

a group of masked individuals, wearing black clothing, drove through the main gate and proceeded to the car park next to the Tennis Courts in the Sports Centre. They disembarked there and went on foot along a bush path to Awolowo Hall i've heard of that path prior to all this violence, and its common knowledge that its usually used by cultists. |

22 members were involved, six from the University, four from the University of Lagos, four from the University of Ibadan, and eight from the University of Calabar. There was also a separate claim that more students from the University of Benin were also involved. like i said, cultism is one of the few areas where nigerians have complete unity. |

When things fall apart “Key cult figures are often the sons of Nigeria’s elite,” . . . “Many of the cultists failed the entrance exams; they were only allowed into the schools because their parents purchased their admittance from cash-strapped and corrupt university administrators.” The News reported that a meeting held at Black Ax headquarters in Lagos enlisted recruits from other campuses nationwide for the following morning’s assault http://www.salon.com/1999/08/02/nigeria/ |

At sunrise on July 10th a convoy of cars and jeeps approached Awo Hall at the prestigious and tranquil Obafemi Awolowe University in Ile-Ife, 160 miles east of Lagos. About 40 marauders emerged from the vehicles, clad in black trousers and black T-shirts, their faces hidden by masks. like this: [img]http://saferafricagroup.files./2011/08/niger-delta-militants2.jpg[/img] |

i was i my final year then,i lived at annex awo hall. December 1999 christmas celebration, a friend of mine from Uniben hinted me that i should evacuate awo hall that they might be planning a hit on the hall.I took the warning with a pinch of salt. 3 days before the D day, i noticed a lot of strange guys/veichles on campus.infact i could still remember one white regular limo benz filled with guys. a day to D DAY i remember seeing a guy dressed in full black with big eagle head drawn at the back of his leather jacket at the sport complex.this guy gestured at me asking what i was doing there by myself at the lawn tennis court.i was just lookig at him. july 9 eve.i noticed an usually high activity at angola/mozambique car park.i saw a lot of cars with alpha....... plates numbers.a friend explained to me that club guys were having their gigs that night. Also the awo hall cafe was alive with music of the kegites ,they were having a gyration.at 10pm i went to bed. at exactly 4am the next morning came this heavy gunshots with a lot of vibration.The gunshots were accompanied with the shout " awo boys come out" our usual slogan when we want to beat up an offender or cultist.surely this came from pump actions and shotguns we quickly put out the light in our room.i dont think that operation lasted more than 15 minutes. Then all went silent all of a sudden.i went to afrika'S room i saw him dead with his brain littering the bed.they used axe on him.He could have escaped but had taken too much palmwine from the kegite gyration.i went to the nearby health sent and i saw a lot of dead guys. men blood dey smell! my class mate pintos escaped by the whiskers ,he ran into a bathroom but eviano was shot on the thigh while coming out of the same bathroom. i was really sad. |

Tolexander: all the blocks, not only block 1 and 2. Just because block one faces the jungle to moz and angola, that is why the non awo guys know this. It is always block 2 vs block 3, e jade ki a bu iya ara wa.Awolowo Hall blocks 2 and 3 are the only blocks in the school that face each other. Aro is always at its pick in block 2. I remember when I was in part 2 and staying in Annex G room 234; whenever there was power outage I would quickly run to block 2 to catch fun. There was this boy in block 3 that was always shouting like a mad man whenever he entered the bathroom. It was fun. There were also these two boys always speaking some funny rubbish language just to imitate the Chinese. They were always serious with this. Awo Hall, I will never forget you. |

BTW, Seun has not said anything. He is an alumnus of Great Ife. If he didn't witness what happened on July 10, 1999 he must have heard somethings about it. |

Not to derail this interesting thread but this reminds me of the day Great Akokites said NO to cultism. 2 days to June exams in 1981 some Pyrates decided to 'sail' thereby disturbing students who needed to shuttle between class and hostel. The students declared total war the next morning, stripping caught pyrates naked and parading them on the street near Moremi hall! Others were caught and beaten to a pulp - thank God for the health centre and a good VC, they all survived but were greastly humbled. Student power works when positively mobilised as in the days of old. |
