UNILAG Student Shot In The Head On Campus

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.
