Nigerian Student Leader Attacked By Gunmen In Ondo

According to Sahara Reporters, the victim is an undergraduate student at the University of Benin where he is in his final year.

A source familiar with the incident told correspondents that Awodola was cruelly beaten in Benin City, the capital of Edo state.

“They used a cutlass to cut Awodola on the forehead after he tried to fight back,

“I understand that the assault happened around 9pm on Saturday in Benin,” the source revealed.

He said Awodola had been in a dispute with some officials of the Ondo state government, especially Olumuyiwa Asagunla, the senior special assistant on youth and student affairs to Governor Olusegun Mimiko, and Aderotimi Adelola, the secretary to the state government.

In August 2014, Ondo government officials even barred Awodola from attending public functions organised by the Ondo state government to which student leaders were invited. The officials acted against Awodola because they accused him of not siding with the government in power.

The source added that ahead of the elections the students’ leader was campaigning and organising youths to support certain candidates.

Awodola is currently receiving treatment at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital where he was rushed. The police and university authorities were also informed about the cruel attack.

Recently, the younger brother of Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, was attacked with machetes and cruelly beaten. According to the chief press secretary to Amaechi, David Iyofor, assailants in his accommodation in the school viciously attacked the young boy, who is a student of Igbinedion University in Edo state.

ART– AN EYE INTO ANOTHER WORLD

For some reason, I have always been a fan of the arts. The ability to create something from nothing, the ability to bring to life what was once but only a figment of one’s imagination to me, is to dare to rival the gods, if you believe in them. I consider the artist to be a gift to man to constantly remind him that he is possible of anything! This piece is more of a show than tell as I am certain that it would not be proper to write an article on art and tell more words than I show works. I have therefore had to steal from a friend, a classmate and most of all, a talented artist as I, myself, am not so gifted as to put up my works for display but still, I shall humour you eventually with my rendition of a popular cartoon that you may recognise if you grew up watching ‘Looney Tones’. Nevertheless, gift is not a necessity to appreciate beauty and the plethora of magna opera (The many great works). Mr Joshua Zirigbe (9β) is a Nigerian from Delta State and he has given us the opportunit...

THE FIRE ON 23 ROAD – FESTAC, LAGOS

A fire outbreak occured on 23 Road in Festac on Saturday the 14th, February, 2015 which is the popular Valentine's day. Jouleconcept's correspondent, Mr Juwah Awele covered the story and gave a report in form of an article about the occurrence. This can be read below: “There is fire in house 2! There were children locked inside the house…” those were the words of my elderly neighbour, Mrs A, returning from the scene of some ongoing tragedy. Immediately, my mother went for all our official documents she always keeps in a ready to go bag while, my father, brother and I set off in the direction of the blaze. On getting to the front of the close, T Close, we observed the residents of the first few houses on the left hastily withdrawing their belongings from their homes; stuffing generators, plasma TVs, gas cylinders and the works into the back seat of their cars. Some had already driven their cars away! Immediately, we realised the fire was coming from the next cl...
