Immediate Past Awo Hall Secretary,
Gideon Beaten For Theft


By Abiola Durodola and Farombi Oluwaseun


It was a bloody day for Apoel Gideon, the
immediate past Secretary of the caretaker
committee of Awolowo Hall yesterday as he
begged those that were once his 'boys' to save his
life following the criminal treat done him. ‘He was
forcefully administered his own medicine in a
popular style’ someone quipped.



Gideon was reported to have stolen some items
which include a Samsung S2 which was
discovered by the owner and another laptop. Upon
this discovery, he was told to prove the ownership
of the phone which Gideon failed to do. The owner
brought out the receipt and the phone pack which
has the IMEI number which matched with what
Gideon was with. The owner reported the case
immediately to the Students' Union Security
Committee.







Our efforts to speak with Gideon yesterday proved
abortive as members of the SU Security Committee
prevented journalists from seeing him on the
excuse that he will be moderated today. Students’
continuous clamour that Gideon's case be
moderated yesterday fell on deaf ears as the
security team insisted that could not be done for
security reasons. We eventually learnt the security
committee acted based on the instruction handed
down by the SU president through a phone call but
the Security Committee promised that his case will
be moderated the next day (Wednesday) at the
level of Awo café by 8am.






Based on the account of the Security Committee,
Gideon confessed that he actually stole the phone
and laptop. During the early hours of yesterday,
students converged at Awo café to see how the
moderation would go. After so many submissions
by students, it was agreed that he will be given
three (3) strokes of cane each by three Awolowo
Hall residents which was meted. He was then
paraded to Angola hall with students shouting
"Gideon Ole Ole" but he was not beaten there due
to intervention of the Vice Dean, Division of
Student Affair (DSA) and some security personnel
after claims that he had fainted and he was
bleeding profusely from his nose.






Gideon was later rushed into an ambulance which
was later blocked by students with an attack beeng
launched on the driver of the ambulance right in
front of the Health Centre but he was bundled into
a Red bus which later took him away to OAUTHC
for treatment. As at the time of filing this report,
the exact health state of Gideon cannot be
ascertained.
