I was a correspondent to UI SUB for my Hall Press - Zik Hall, as at that time. They had their evil meeting in the SRC chambers of the Students' Union Building of Uni. Of Ibadan. Strange faces were noticed on that day and we knew they were from other Unis but we could not place what was going down. It was a union of boys from institutions in SW and SS majorly -- Uniben, Ekpoma, Futa etc. We knew something was up, but where - we do not know. Definitely not UI. Much later, we were able to get a hint that the target school is Ife. Boys were dispatched to Ife to warn them. Ask their President as at then. They only said it is Ife and nothing can happen. 3 days later they moved from UI and struck mercilessly in Ife. I later served in Rivers State with one of the boys that struck in Ife that night. He said DSS arrested every single one of them. They were in detention for a long time. He lost some years in Futa but still graduated much later. According to him, some were outrightly shot and killed, while some with powerful connections were the ones taken to the court. Some were granted bail and never still released as at that time. He said the prison warden just came to him and said you can go. He even felt they were either going to kill him or he will be shot as he is going. He walked into his father's house like a ghost. He claims he regrets his actions. 25 Likes 5 Shares |

[quote author=guy007 post=47387347]The massacre brought about anti cultism crusade organization in Nigeria University campuses nation wide. With head quarter in Ambrose Alli University. I was in my 100 level in AAU then. It was door go door campaign involving locals and women. Cultist where killed ( jungle justice) U mean ACCON, yes thats what brought the birth of ACCON in AAU, Ekpoma. The same massacre happen in Ekpoma in 2003 @ Rev Martins Hall, ACCON building. Five students were killed that night and the was October 8,2003. |

A society that doesn't value life is bound to have a perverse justice system, that usually give selective justice to those it deem guilty. Even till this day, nobody knows what happened to the Aluu 4 killers and Cynthia's... 1 Like |

That day was the dat i saw hell on earth. We were supposed to have chm 101 test in the morning of that incident. I was in 100 level at that time, I lived in angola hall while in awo hall there was kegite in incitation going on of which AFRIKA was to be initiated . Guys did u know that the cultist that was put to handle angola guys was a lady? Omo see guys running into the bush without looking back. The medical student that was Hit by a stray bullet was painful because he bleeded to death when no one could save him. His blood changed the colour of the fruit Tree in the medical building from green to red. I beg as i am writing its like yesterday and tears flowing from my eyes, my kids and wife here with me consolling me. Our falling heros rest well!!! OF THE GREATEST IFEEEEEE!!!!!!!

I know Prof Rogers to be a very upright man in terms of moral standards. I can believe his account. This confession coming from the VC shows that Powers beyond the university frustrated Justice. RIP, Afrika and others. The only condolence we have is that their efforts has frustrates and led to the zero tolerance of Cultism on OAU campus, this I enjoyed in my 6-year stay in Ife.

ucheo:i guess you were young when the incident happened. Why this story will be ever green in ife is (1) it mark the end of cultism in ife. Don't get me wrong, there are still Cult in ife but not like the way it was before the incident. (2) ife is too security conscious and so the attack was like a shock to the school. (3) those remembering it are students at that time whose life changed after the attack. Eg myself, after the attack i see cultism as not just crime but worst than evil, now my nephews are been adviced by me against cultism. Even my kids though still young but i ensure i know their movements. So let the remembrance continue for life 16 Likes |

Very glad I graduated from OAU. Ethics and norms in that school are very unnigerian. Up until my graduation a couple of years ago, Eviano Ekelemu's picture and story remained in Fajuyi hall, my hall of residence as a student in OAU. Brings back mixed memories every year when this topic comes up on Nairaland. It's always good to remember those who died for the freedoms we enjoy today. His parents will be more than glad, even till this day, that he fought and died for a worthy cause in a more than worthy school. 8 Likes |

chimaobinelson:Guy ask question about what u don't know. The SUG of that time led by LEGACY, AFRIKA, were fearless. The school authority led by Pro WALE OMOLE knew that if the students goverment were called as witness then the case would have been lost by the Cult so that decided to rush the case by not calling for witness at all. 3 Likes |
