Secondary School Cultist Stabs Boy With
Poisoned Knife, Victim’s Leg Amputated.
When 16-year-old boy,
Oluwadamilare Olugbamu, left home
for school on the morning of July 1,
2015, he probably didn’t know the
magnitude of danger that was ahead
of him.
Shortly after the young lad had left
the compound of his Nawarudeen
Secondary School, Jibowu, Lagos, at
the close of school hours, he was
attacked with a knife by another 16-
year-old boy suspected to be a cult
member.
The assailant, Idris Ajagbe, a pupil of
Birel Secondary School, Lagos,
stabbed him in the left thigh, with a
knife, which the family said might
have been poisoned.
Eleven days after the attack, his left
leg was amputated at the Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja,
Lagos because blood no longer
flowed through it.
Again on August 15, the same leg had
to be re-amputated again because it
continued to bleed without healing.
This bizarre case has left a lot of
questions than answers on the issue
of cult groups in secondary schools
in Nigeria.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that there
has been an enmity between pupils
of Birel Secondary School, Yaba, and
Lagos City College, Yaba on one side
and Nawarudeen Secondary School
and Mainland Secondary School,
Yaba on the other side.
But matters came to the head on July
1, when the school rift snowballed
into an all-out attack against pupils
of Nawarudeen Secondary School.
According to Oluwadamilare’s sister,
Opeyemi, the students of these
schools were always bullying one
another on their way home from
school.
“The day my brother was attacked,
there was a football match between
students of Nawarudeen and
Mainland. It was during the match
that the fight started. It was not
serious until the students left school
and started going home,” Opeyemi
told our correspondent.
Oluwadamilare, who is still in
excruciating pain on hospital bed as
a result to the two amputations he
has suffered, explained that he was
going home when pupils of Lagos
City College Started to throw stones
at students of Nawarudeen.
According to him, pupils of his own
school decided to retaliate by
throwing stones back at the
aggressors too.
Soon, the fight escalated as a student
of Lagos City College allegedly
brought out a cutlass and inflicted a
cut on one of the pupils of
Nawarudeen.
“The boy that was cut struggled to
take the cutlass away from the Lagos
City College boy. When he collected
the cutlass, he retaliated by cutting
the boy in the head. When we all
saw blood gushing out of the boy’s
head, we ran away,” Oluwadamilare
said.
But the matter did not end there. In
fact, Oluwadamilare’s worst
nightmare was about to become
reality.
On his way home, he saw a cousin in
the company of some pupils of Lagos
City College and Birel Secondary
School and called out to him.
Oluwadamilare said his hope was
that he would leave the company of
the boys and accompany him home.
But as soon as the other boys with
his cousin sighted him, they ran after
him, stoning him as they did so.
Oluwadamilare said he fell down
after one of the boys identified as
Tosin Ogidiolu of Birel Secondary
School kicked him.
The boys allegedly pounced on him,
beating and kicking him as he lay on
the ground begging them to stop.
As the mob continued their action on
Oluwadamilare, one of them (Idris
Ajagbe, whom other pupils attested
to being a cult member) drew out a
knife and stabbed him in the thigh.
As they beat him, his cousin begged
them to stop, but some of them, who
were armed with metal pipes,
continued to beat him until he fell
unconscious.
The boys ran away only when he
became unconscious, it was learnt.
Oluwadamilare’s sister explained
that a teacher, who was passing by
and saw the boy bleeding and
unconscious, decided to rush him to
the hospital, where his injuries were
dressed and the knife wound was
stitched.
“By the time I was informed and
rushed to the hospital, my brother’s
leg had swollen so big. We had to
report the case to the Sabo Police
Division after that,” Opeyemi said.
However, doctors at the hospital
where his wound was dressed
realised all was not well with the boy
when he continued to scream in pain
and the leg continued to swell.
He was referred to the surgical
emergency ward of LASUTH the
following day, where it was decided
that nothing could be done to save
the leg.
A number of tests were conducted
while some consultants were
summoned to examine the leg. But
Oluwadamilare’s fate was sealed.
After the first amputation,
Oluwadamilare was said to have
bled so much that he required 21
pints of blood before the leg had to
be re-amputated.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that Ajagbe
has since been on the run. Before he
fled, he dropped a note at home for
his mother, explaining that he
decided to run away from home
because he stabbed someone to
death.
But the police were able to round up
the other pupils involved in the
attack along with Oluwadamilare’s
cousin.
Seven of the boys were charged
before a Yaba Magistrate’s Court,
Lagos for offences ranging from
hooliganism, conspiracy to felony.
The case was adjourned till
November 23.

Funny case. I thought this madness in secondary schools had ended. Cutlasses and knives with secondary school students!! Back then it was Igbobi college boys vs any other school. Notorious things. Those boys are now topping agbero charts in mushin and fadeyi. On the other hand, Let's see nairalanders descend on doctors again. |
