North American University Student Killed In Lagos By Alleged Cultists

A 26-year-old student, Adeolu Otenaike, of the North American
University in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, has been murdered in Lagos.


Adeolu was allegedly killed by suspected cultists in Surulere area of
the state on March 20.

The victim, a 400 level student, was said to have visited Nigeria in
company with five classmates from the university on March 18.

They were said to have come to "wash" Otenaike's new car.

But their adventure ended in the killing of Otenaike.

It was gathered that Otenaike and his friends had earlier that day
visited the Arena Restaurant along Ikorodu Road and later drove to the
Empire Bar at Surulere, where a gang of cultists allegedly murdered
him.

According to Ladi Bada, one of Otenaike's friends who was with him the
night he was killed: "When we got to Empire Bar, Adeolu was accosted
by one Taiye, also known as Sogbe, a cultist.

"Two years ago, he had a quarrel with Adeolu.

"That was how Sogbe grabbed Adeolu while other cultists with Taiye –
Bayano, Kaka, Small bobo, Igimuand and others – beat Adeolu and his
friends mercilessly.

"The cultists robbed them of money and phones.

"One Alowonle, the chairman of the Tricycle Riders Association at the
Empire area, told Taiye and his members not to kill Adeolu at the spot
but that they should take him outside where he was shot both on the
head and neck.

"Chinedu, another of the victim, was seriously wounded but managed to escape.

"The incident happened at about 12 midnight and immediately someone
called the Divisional Police Officer at the Alakara Division and the
police recovered  expended bullets."
