There is a Larry Obichie who is a Manager with PWC in Cyprus. He looks like he will be the same age as these boys 20yrs later. PWC should be notified if he’s the one. His LinkedIn picture is online.

YES!!! Categorically HE IS THE ONE!! First, Larry Obichie was a senior of mine in Secondary school. He was a prefect too and quite brilliant and handsome then, but very mean.We schooled in one of the Lagos State Model colleges, founded by Mike Akhigbe then military administrator of Lagos. His younger brother was my junior too, Emeka Obichie.Then, I later went to OAU and I saw Larry paraded, with a sub-machine gun, I was shoked! Larry was the Hit man of confraternity or NBM as they call it, a Geology student while His older brother, Uche Obichie was the Capo. His older brother was initially in Uniben or Epoma I think, He was rusticated based on cult activities and He came to OAU to be Capo.
Some of the cultists that were caught after the incidence included a Year 1 student of Ekpoma, they tortured him and one other in front of Student Union Building or SUB, they tried to get a confession but he refused, he was beaten to death. I heard Larry's father flew Him out of Nigeria after He was declared wanted. Very sad

Live on George Iwilade (Afrika). It's disdainfully sad that the people who are enjoying peace today don't know the blood sacrifice that was used to pay for it.

July 10 is not one of those days to forget easily neither is it one we'll like to remember but for the continuous reign of peace, we often need to be reminded the price that was paid for it.

Current OAU students who can walk around the school at anytime of the day/night without harassment from cultists don't even know what price was paid. I sometime ago spoke with some students about the July 10th massacre but most of them are either ignorant about it, feigned ignorance or showed little or no concern.

I can't remember a more touching story that has helped form peace in Nigerian institutions. This freedom isn't enjoyed in most of the Nigerian institutions and there's been no Messiah (Afrika) to stand up for the students.
The true definition of heroism is when one stands up to fight a good cause. George was a secretary general of the SUG and he indeed represented the people unlike what we have in various institutions today.

It is a fervent prayer that one day the perpetrators of this hideous crime will be brought to justice.

live on George

A good time to remember George Iwilade Afrika. 24 years after the massacre not one person has been brought to book.

Olakanmi Ogundele works with Sujimoto. He must be Sujimoto’s relative. They have the same surname



Having the same surname doesn't make them relatives....
