After eight years of academic sojourn at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, the parents of Benard Asefon and his siblings expected him to return home before embarking on the mandatory one-year National Youth Service scheme. But sadly, that expectation was cut short in a cruel manner. Death took away Ashefon.
The late student, who studied Animal Nutrition and Biotechnology, was said to have died after an electric pole fell on a septic tank which caved in and he sank into the pit.
Some of his colleagues told our correspondent that the deceased climbed a ladder to change his hostel’s switch on a nearby electric pole. The changeover switch at the hostel where he had lived for eight years was said to be faulty and he decided to rectify it for the occupants to enjoy electricity.

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Catholic Diocese of Oyo has urged the Muslim faithful in Nigeria to embrace and pray for peace, justice, and an end to social vices in the country as they begin Ramadan fast.
The church made the call in a statement on Tuesday.
It was signed jointly by the Catholic Bishop of Oyo Diocese, Emmanuel Badejo, and Joseph Ogundipe, the Diocesan Director, Inter-Religious Dialogue (IRD).
The clerics said people should be concerned about the current siege on parts of the country through violent kidnapping, rape, and killing of women, farmers, and even ordinary citizens while going about their lawful duties.
Alfa Bisiriyu Apalara (1918-1953): A Murder Mystery That Haunted Lagos, By Femi Kehinde
As the court later found, Apalara’s murder resulted from a conflict with the Oro cult. But it was only a wing of it. The Muslim preacher had been treading dangerously on the toes of a section of the members of the ancient cult. He threatened their exposure, for they were prostituting the powers of the cult, frightening people from the streets whenever they wanted to carry out their smuggling or burglary expeditions.
Murder is as old as mankind. Cain, because of a jealous rage, killed his brother Abel, according to the book of Genesis in the Bible. In exact similitude, Qabil and Habil, believed by Moslems to have been the first two sons of Adam and Eve, just like Cain and Abel in the Bible, also suffered the same fate.
