A student was reportedly shot in the head by
unidentified gunmen on Monday at the King
Jaja Hall area of the University of Lagos,
Lagos State.
The student who was identified as Sapara, a
final year student of Philosophy, had his face
covered in blood after a bullet was said to
have scraped the side of his head.
He was subsequently taken to the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, and
official report had it that he was in stable
condition.
The incident however led to chaos as students
were seen running in different directions
after the gunshot was heard.
Eyewitnesses say they saw a car speed off
after the shooting, noting that the
perpetrators might have carried out the
attack from there.
Speaking in an interview with our
correspondent, the Dean of Students’ Affairs
of the University, Prof. Olukayode Amund,
confirmed that Sapara was indeed shot and
currently recuperating at LUTH.
He stated that investigations had begun to
unravel the circumstances surrounding the
attack, after which requisite actions would be
taken.
