Upcoming
Hip Hop artiste, Damilola Olaniyan, popularly known as Damino Damoche,
was on Saturday buried at the Badagry Cemetry according to Islamic
rites.
The 25-year-old and final year Banking
and Finance student of the Lagos State University, was gruesomely killed
few meters away a gate of the institution last Thursday after writing a
test.
Meanwhile, some pictures of corpses
suspected to be students of the Lagos State University went viral on the
Internet on Saturday, heightening tension in the school and its
environs.
Consequently, students of the institution have expressed fear that some cult members might want to avenge Olaniyan’s death.
Reports on social network such as
Facebook and Twitter stated that some cult members attacked and killed
some students living off campus.
“Some cult members believed to belong to Aiye and Bucanners, went to attack some cult members belonging to Eiye Confraternity
that live off campus. Olaniyan was believed to be a member of
Bucanners. It was his gang members that went on the killing spree to
avenge his death,” a report stated
It was learnt that following the rumour
that went viral, many students had left the school and gone home for the
weekend in order not to be caught in the cross fire.
When contacted on the telephone, the
Student Union President, Ibrahim Tunji, denied the death of more
students, adding that normalcy had since returned to the campus.
He said, “I have not received news of
the death of any student. I left the school on Friday and I came back on
Saturday so I would know if anything had happened. You know anyone can
fabricate any story but I don’t think there is need for panic.”
The spokesperson for the state police
command, Ngozi Braide, said she would call back when contacted on the
telephone but was yet to do so as at press time.
