unidentified gunmen at the King Jaja Hall
area of the university.
The student simply identified as Sapara

the attack after the bullet missed its
target.
He was subsequently taken to the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba,
and official report have it that he is in a
stable condition. The incident had
however led to chaos as students were
seen running in different directions after
the gunshot.
Punch reports that according to
eyewitnesses, they saw a car speed off
after the shooting, noting that the
occupants of the car may have been the
perpetrators of the dastardly attack.
The Dean of Students’ Affairs of the
University, 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

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.
