This story brings back the memories of that evil incident. Afrika was in my class and a day before that incident he came to sit for the banking law test that took place that day...I saw him walking away right in front of me and remembered that I wanted to discuss some issues relating to student matters but I just said to myself ' I will see him another day' and sadly I did see him the next day lying on his bed with a bullet hole on his head and marks created by axes inflicted on his head still wearing the same cloth that I saw him in when he sat for the test on friday...I went blank and cried because amongst other things he consulted with us his colleagues in class when he wanted to contest for that position and we gave him our total support...alas they just wasted a great brain for no reason.....well am sure some of those who took part in that massacre of the students would be dead by now or possibly be unstable in whatever they do because the blood of those that were shed that day will surely cry for justice which I know would have been served by now....afrika,eviano and others continue to rest in peace....

J-man:
Omo!, i was a jambite when the incident occcurred. It was tragic! Africa was shot in the head (from the reports) and he was rushed to the health center first before being rushed to a hospital in town. He died on the way! The following morning was very interesting. Students (including our so called aje-butter babes) formed groups, mobilized vehicles and visited all motor parks/garages in search of the cultists. Come and see action!!! The "intelligence" unit of the Student Union has already gotten the names of the cultists and where they came from(i dont know how). One of them was caught and shishi maximum was dished out to him. Even the ladies jostled to join the "shishi team". During the search for the principal 'actor', a friend of mine was picked up cos he bore the first 2 names of the cultist.
And when they found the main guy nko News raced round the school like wild fire that they had caught him and his trial was to be conducted at Amphi theatre. The hall was filled (overfilled sef)to capacity. Then Lanre "Legacy" (student union president) walked in (that guy get too much action for body sef!!!). His first words were "GREATEST IFE!!!" The response from all was a resounding "GREAT!!!" Even our lecturers were there also shouting "Great" with us students.
I remember so many funny incidents (fetching water at the stream behind moz, trekking to gate through road 1 when school is on strike , going for angel of chemistry lectures at 5am, eating amala at old buka, walking into Moz to toast a babe with butterflies in my stomach etc).
Ife students always stand together whereever they meet in life and protect one another.
The school is filled with so many memories. OAU for life.

afrika was actually brought in dead to the health center. he was wearing one of his native cloths. i saw him in the health centre after those devils had left the campus.....sad end to a great guy who had dreams to make impact in his generation most especially the legal profession.in class then he was only wearing natives and traditional clothes to class .i never saw him put on English attire.

i recall that it was the clarion call on the public address system in fajuyi hall by one of the then SUG executive mr idris faro in fajuyi hall to great ife students that they should come out and defend themselves that cults are attacking AWO hall that saved most of us from running into the cult members when they invaded the hall later after dealing with AWO HALL.its a night anyone that witnessed the whole massacre will never one to remember and most especially seeing the corpse of the great afrika[who was in my class and who i had actually discussed with on friday the day before the attack]in the health centre before he was taken to the mortuary.....am very sure that those who carried out that massacre must have received their divine punishment because they shed innocent blood .may God continue to console the families of the departed in jesus name.

in the event that the sailors abscond or dont apppear to face their trial ... can the ambassador be arrested or made to produce the in the face of the immunity that he enjoys in any host country that he finds himself? i think the ambassador ought not have allowed himself to be used as surety for the released sailors....

so sad...RIP..
