Damoche’s Death Avenged

Culled From: PM News

 

Following the murder of musician Damilola Olaniyan, a.k.a. Damino Damoche by two unidentified gunmen suspected to be cultists at the Lagos State University on Thursday, last week, there has been reprisal attacks around the school campus.

On Sunday morning, a part-time student of the school was murdered in cold blood by some guys suspected to be members of Eiye Confraternity.

The murder, which was to avenge the death of Damoche, took place at Abeokuta Street, Okokomaiko, a neighbouring community to LASU’s main campus.

Shortly after the murder of the part-time student, the entire Okokomaiko and PPL communities surrounding LASU were thrown into pandemonium. Many students of the school are yet to resume for fear of further reprisal attacks.

Speaking with our reporter this morning, the institution’s Students’ Union Public Relations Officer, Stephen Adeleke, confirmed that someone was murdered in Okokomaiko on Sunday, but said “we are yet to identify him. I was told that he was a sandwich student, but we are not sure yet. The school is calm and we are still doing our best to make sure everything is under control.”

Foreign Affairs Minister, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru, says the Commonwealth of Nations is planning to introduce a visa free regime for its member states.

Ashiru stated this in Abuja on Monday at a meeting with the Secretary General of the organisation, Kamalesh Sharma.

As a prelude to accomplishing this, the council of ministers of the organisation is to present a proposal for the exemption of holders of official and diplomatic passports from visa requirements at the next CHOGOM meeting scheduled to hold in Colombo, Siri Lanka.

The minister said, “We also discussed the issue of free movement to promote people to people contact within the Commonwealth.

“In the past, it used to be that holders of Commonwealth passports could travel within the commonwealth countries easily without having to go and queue for visas. We are now thinking for ways to ensure that we bring back this old tradition of the Commonwealth.
