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.
