A final year student at Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ogun State, named Ahmed Ayinla Fabiyi, met a tragic end when he was brutally murdered by suspected cultists during an exam period. The incident, which occurred at the university premises, has sent shockwaves throughout the institution and its community.

Fabiyi, a dedicated student enrolled in the History and Diplomatic Studies Department, was about to begin his final paper when a group of cultists reportedly disguised themselves as friends there to celebrate his birthday. They lured him out of the examination hall under false pretenses and dragged him towards a secluded area nearby.

The gang’s true intentions became clear as they viciously attacked Fabiyi, beating and macheting him in a ruthless assault. Despite efforts by the school security unit to intervene, the assailants managed to flee the scene, leaving Fabiyi in critical condition.

According to Mrs. Ayotunde Odubela, the Public Relations Officer of TASUED, Fabiyi, a former Students’ Union Government (SUG) leader, was rushed to the school’s medical center for immediate treatment. However, due to the severity of his injuries, he was referred to General Hospital Ijebu Ode and later to Babcock University Teaching Hospital for further care. Tragically, Fabiyi succumbed to his wounds before reaching the hospital.

The authorities at TASUED have reported the heinous incident to the Ogun State Police, prompting an investigation into the matter. The police spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirmed that the command has launched raids on suspected cultists’ hideouts in the area in response to the tragedy.

The clash that led to Fabiyi’s untimely death was identified as a renewed rivalry between the Eiye and Aiye cult groups operating within the university’s vicinity. The loss of a promising student and leader has left the TASUED community in mourning, raising concerns about the prevalence of cult-related violence on college campuses.
