Eyewitness accounts suggest that the students were simply going about their evening routines, innocently seeking sustenance, when they were suddenly caught in the crossfire of an altercation, paying a hefty price for circumstances entirely beyond their control.
The gravity of the situation prompted one alarmed observer to share chilling images of the injured students, prompting urgent calls for LASU students to remain indoors, shielding themselves from further danger lurking in their surroundings.
As news of the tragedy spread like wildfire, Kappo Olawale, the Senior Special Adviser on Students’ Union Affairs to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, sprang into action, reaching out to the university’s Student Union President for updates on the victims’ conditions. Amidst the chaos, there emerged a glimmer of hope as reports indicated that the injured students had been rushed to Igando General Hospital and were reportedly in stable condition.
However, amidst the influx of information and expressions of relief, a somber note intruded as one source lamented the loss of one of the victims, casting a pall of sorrow over an already distressing situation.
In the aftermath of this tragic incident, questions abound, and demands for accountability and safety measures echo across the student body and beyond. The sanctity of educational spaces, once considered bastions of learning and growth, has been violently breached, leaving a community shaken to its core.
As authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting, there is a pressing need for concrete action to ensure the safety and security of all students. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerability of students and the urgent imperative to fortify campuses against the scourge of violence that threatens to undermine the pursuit of knowledge and academic excellence.
In the wake of this tragedy, the LASU community stands united in grief and resolve, demanding justice for the victims and resolute measures to prevent such senseless acts of violence from recurring. It is a solemn call to action, resonating not only within the hallowed halls of academia but reverberating throughout society, as we collectively strive to safeguard the promise of a brighter future for generations to come.

In a related development, Nigerian content creator Adebayo Ridwan, popularly known as Isbae U, has opened up about the difficult period he experienced following the controversy surrounding him in 2022.
During an interview with Morayo Afolabi Brown, Isbae U revealed that the backlash was so severe that he began questioning whether his career had come to an end.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has reiterated his commitment to restoring petrol subsidy if elected president in the 2027 general election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The former Vice-President made the pledge in a post shared on his X handle on Monday, alongside a campaign video outlining his position on the policy.
“My position stands! I will restore subsidy to make life easier and more affordable for Nigerians,” Atiku wrote.
The video compared petrol prices in Nigeria with those in other oil-producing countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Libya, Iran and Venezuela, arguing that citizens in those nations pay significantly less for the product.
According to the video, Atiku’s proposed subsidy arrangement would apply only to petrol refined locally, excluding imported products. The policy would also remain in place until domestic refineries become self-sustaining.
Atiku was further quoted in the clip as saying, “My position has not changed and will not change. I will restore it.”
President Bola Tinubu announced the removal of the petrol subsidy during his inauguration speech in May 2023. His administration subsequently promised to channel the savings from the policy into infrastructure development and social services.
Atiku has made the reversal of the subsidy removal a major part of his 2027 campaign agenda. Other promises include reopening Nigeria’s land borders and addressing insecurity.
He reiterated these commitments during the ADC presidential campaign flag-off rally in Sokoto on November 4.
The former Vice-President secured the ADC presidential ticket in May, marking his seventh attempt to become Nigeria’s president.
However, the Federal High Court in Abuja nullified his candidacy on November 5, alongside decisions taken by the party’s David Mark-led leadership.
The ADC has since appealed the judgment and is seeking a stay of execution.
The presidential election is scheduled for January 16, 2027, while governorship and State House of Assembly elections are slated for February 6, 2027.
