A student activist at the Lagos State University, Yusuf Nurudeen, has been k*lled by unknown gunmen in front of the school gate hours after appearing before the school’s disciplinary committee over alleged admission racketeering and unlawful possession of university documents.
Campus Trackers gathered that Yusuf d*ed on Wednesday, Aug 18, after being sh*t. Similarly, a staff-activist in the school who had openly expressed support for Nurudeen was also sh*t in the back and said to be in a c*ma.
It was learnt that the disciplinary panel had been postponing the sitting for unknown reasons since January 2020. Before his ass*ssination, Nurudeen, a leader in the Education Rights Campaign (ERC)— platform of activists organised on Nigerian campuses to campaign for free education— described the probe as an attempt to frame him for being an outspoken opposition to the management of the school.
He was also said to have got married six months before his de*th, leaving behind a three-month-old child. [Swipe]
