| Sapara.Cheated death after being shot in the head by cultists at Unilag. |
The curse of cultism has struck again in one of Nigeria Universities.This time the incident took place at the Univeristy of Lagos(Unilag).A student in his final year of Philosophy was shot in the head.Luckily for the student of the Univeristy of Lagos named Sapara,the bullet was said to have only scraped the side of his head living his face covered in blood.The incident took place on Monday at the King Jaja Hall area of Unilag, Lagos State.
He was subsequently taken to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, and official
report had it that he was in stable condition.
The incident however as you can imagine left the Unilag students rushing off in different directions of the University as soon as the gunshot went off .Now,the incident has not been confirmed as a cultist attack,but all the signs are there,when a student walks up to another in a university and shoots him,it's usually nothing else apart from cultist boys in action.
Eyewitnesses say they saw a car speed off after the shooting, noting that the perpetrators might have carried out the attack from there.
Speaking in an interview with our correspondent, the Dean of Students’ Affairs of the Unilag, Prof. Olukayode Amund, confirmed that Sapara was indeed shot and currently recuperating at LUTH.
He stated that investigations had begun to unravel the circumstances surrounding the attack, after which requisite actions would be taken.
He said, “The events surrounding the incident are still unknown and by the time we conclude our investigation, the Unilag authority will take the necessary and appropriate action. Our security operatives are working very hard to unravel the mystery and whoever is responsible will be held to account.”
When asked whether the attack was carried out by cultists, Amund noted that though it was not yet confirmed, it was a likely possibility.

According to him, only cultists are known to carry out operations of this nature.
And although normal day-to-day activities went on at Unilag on Tuesday as students went about writing their ongoing examinations, some of the students are weary that reprisal actions could take place.
In January, unconfirmed reports had it that a Unilag student was axed at the New Hall axis of the campus.
Responding to this, Amund said Unilag was working with the police to find useful leads.
