- Lanre Legacy was president of the Students Union Government (SUG) at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) during the massacre of student executives by cultists allegedly sponsored by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Wale Omole.
In this interview with SaharaTV, Legacy shared his experience of the bloody morning of July 10, 1999; how the SUG secretary, George Iwilade (a.k.a Africa) was murdered; how himself escaped; how SUG arrested some of the perpetrators who carried out the attack; how the arrested perpetrators exposed the Vice Chancellor Professor Wale as their sponsors; how Prof. Omole escaped being prosecuted and other chilling memories of management's highhandedness.
If True Crime Daniel brought you here, gather here👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
He did lol 😅
He did too
☺
He did
I am here 😅
The way he was mentioning everyone's name 😭a leader who is intentional about everyone around him
In 2001, during my stay in Paris, I encountered an individual who claimed involvement in a killing incident at a university in Nigeria. He mentioned that his parents had relocated him to France following his release on bail in Nigeria just to avoid going to prison . Subsequently, he was involved in drugs pushing , his actions in Paris led to his arrest and imprisonment. It's a stark reminder that actions have consequences, and justice eventually catches up with those who engage in wrongdoing.
Wow. Really painful how people feel they can do away with evil
True
Parents contribute a lot to the kind of adults their children become. Why not let your child face the consequences of their actions. Quite unfortunate.
Karma don't miss address
@user-po1qz5hl4c in Naija they do. If not all this, our bad leaders them sorry looters who have Karma visited them now
I was in final year at the time in Obafemi Awolowo University.... What a day and period on the campus in those days! We all witnessed it then and trust me it's forever unforgettable.
George Iwilade and others laid down their lives for the whole community and may their souls continue to rest in peace.
Kudos, Lanre Legacy. I believe you were strangely spared for a purpose and I pray you will fulfil that purpose
This Man legacy should be made a hero in Nigeria!
Exactly my thought!

I was a 100level student of OAU preparing for Botany 101 test that supposed to take place on the day when the deadly incident took place. I was at Awo Hall cafeteria extension reading room, and had to jump down from there towards Angola hall to escape. I had a little injury due to the jump, but thank God I am alive to tell the story. Everything legacy said is truth. Prof. Wale Omole was a beast and I pray nemesis catch up with him for killing innocent students.
Please Pro omole what happens to him in the end???
Where is this Wale Omole now.. He needs to be called out if HE is still alive
I'm listening to this in 2024 and I'm really angry at how much worth the Nigerian system places on the life of a Nigerian. I can only imagine how you feel having experienced it first hand.
Was in Part1 too, preparing for same test
I schooled in OAU when it was so safeeeeee. I could go read my read my books and return to my hostel at 3am SAFELY!!! This people paid that heavy and painful priceeeee 😭😭😭
Thank you Legacy. Your effort to rid OAU of cultism yielded positive result years after. It was never a waste. May the souls of the departed continue to rest in peace
Legacy is very sound , intelligent and fearless ❗
Lanre (Lagacy), thanks for your courage in coming out with all these facts and figures. I was at OAU during this horrible event on campus. In fact, I still have the scars and pain in my heart till today. I was one of the set of people that first arrived at the health centre that faithful morning. It was the gun shot that woke us up in the room while sleeping then in Faj Annex. You know what, whether now or later any evil that man did will definitely catch up with him one day. All I know is that just one day, things will change in Nigeria and we will have an impartial rule of law that will bring to justice all these so-called most powerful and influential. No one plants a Mango and reaped Apple fruits. God bless you.
Hi Akin.
Can you please confirm what year this evil incident happened?
1999
Things will never change until we move to change it
Amen Sir! Thank you
Many unresolved murder cases during the first and second terms of former President Olusegun Okikiola Obasanjo. I wept after hearing the story of how Africa and others were killed.
Thanks, Legacy, for the comprehensive narration. I was in my final year when it happened. I saw the cultists when they came to Faj hall. I was staying in Faj annex close to the new buka. I was awake and went to wash up in the bathroom for my morning prayers, and they were shouting Awo boys must leave the school for us. Thank God the lights in the bathroom were off and they couldn't see me.
I will never forget that day, how OAU students regrouped and arrested Efosa..
Afrika and all those lost their life's will never be forgotten..
I was in room 67 Faj Hall.... Blood dropping from the corridor.
Who are the awo boys?
@@dillionwon6587The most fervent student unionists use to be found in Awolowo.Hall, called Awo boys.
Class of 1990 Alumna, here. I applaud the strength and bravery of the Student Union Body members. You guys are true and inspiring heroes ❤
He said and I quote; "It may be forever impossible to get justice in Nigeria".....
😢
Legacy you earned my respect as a room mate back in PG hall. Sooner or later or later we'll all sit down at a banquet of consequences. Be safe.
I didn’t attend OAU but my younger sister and 2 of my cousins did. They do tell us how safe it was to walk in OAU at anytime of the day or night. There was also fear when you hear about the OAU SUG. I gave myself that name AFRIKA when i campaigned for the office of welfare officer in my department in sch. RIP Afrika and other comrades who lost their lives in the struggle. Say no to Cultism
This is unimaginable. Nigeria had committed so many sins that is why Nigeria is at this level. So sad
Why is this guy not elevated? He should be a strong voice in Nigeria politics by now.
Unfortunately, union guys who don't compromise never go far in politics.
If he tries to do something now, they will get him
@@ayanleyeseun6045you are right he will be attacked because they will believe he will expose them.
Indeed he should be a strong voice in Nigeria politics but will you give him chance or vote for him? We all know how you people talk down about Sowore and keep telling him to start from local government . Nigerians, you will never learn about good people with good intention until is late. Everybody Dey chop breakfast plus dinner all together now with Tinubu that’s good for Nigeria
@@bridgetsimon5778The truth is Sowore is someone I love, but you don't apply a system that works somewhere else in a place it won't. It's unwise! Nigeria isn't America.
He should start at the lower level and people will be the one seeking him.
Imagine Zulum had gone all out for Presidency, do you think his good man would have been known? Now almost everyone would vote him. In SUG, there's nth like a macro economy where U have to show ur financial prowess as well...the Adelekes started locally as well.
Ma humble submission though.
This guy is a brave and inspiring leader…
But if this kind of man come out to contest like Sowore did. You will say he’s just SIG . He doesn’t have what it takes to be president but you can vote Tinubu, Atiku & Obi 🤦♂️
@@bridgetsimon5778is Obi not a competent leader a graduate of UNN
God bless and keep protecting you comrade. May the soul of Afrika and other innocent souls who lost their lives in the struggle keep resting in peace
This is really heavy, I can imagine what this man went through all in Ife,The man Omole was such a wicked man..i just hope the student union will someday reward Africa's family.
This guy need to come to brekete family human rights radio this case need to be reopen so painful .
Well, It cannot be reopened and nothing will happen, they had a voice at a time cultism was still trying to gain grounds, TODAY, Cultism has saturated everything and everywhere, i won't be surprised if in berekete you would have black axe confraternity members there.
@@eddyeffywell said.. its infiltrated all the sphere in the nation.😢 💔
This case can still be won!
I really hope this man is safe wherever he is.. student unionism is now a shadow of itself
The likes of Legacy and Barr. Akin Iwilade(younger brother to Africa) should be entrusted with serious roles of rebuilding Nigeria in either an elective capacity or by appointment. Barr. Akin Iwilade has held on tightly to the values his elder brother died for which are equity, fairness and justice for all. Lanre Legacy, the sacrifices you and all the departed comrades made are still speaking not on OAU campus, but in every tertiary institution of learning across Nigeria. The fear of OAU SUG used to be the beginning of wisdom when we were on campus. May the good Lord continue to repose the souls of those who laid down their lives for our own freedom.
Thank you so much for this sir! I studied at Obafemi Awolowo and finished in 2019. One of the rumours I heard about this incident was that Afrika was matcheted to pieces.
I am so glad to know the truth from the most trusted person. God bless you sir, may God continue to preserve your life in Jesus name.
Africa was britally matched truly. If you watch Legacy well, he rushed over thst oart out of respect for his honour. He's still pained. I am too.
Keep resting in power Comrade Yemi George Iwilade (Africa). You can never be forgotten!
When I remember Africa.... water run away me eyes oooo... aye aye water run away me eye..
Africa, Africa my Africa, that was is legacy/slogan then, during is campaigning time. May his soul continue to rest on
And for legacy, he was of the slogan song of King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, Legacy naa re o. I remember when Omole will bring the Mopo's on a peaceful protest, that was a long story to tell, on innocent students. I heard of the Massacre killing on my service year in Enugu, I finished in 1998, I cried my life out. Why are we doing this to ourselves. Legacy, may God continue to guide and be with you wherever you are. Still remember your face vividly. May the Lord be with always.
But Africa looks like he’s aye too
@@adebukolaadesanya2872 WOW
You are senseless
@@onweninaekekingsley4976no lies
What a detailed report... Legacy is a brave mind. Justice will prevail. I enjoyed the peace on that campus; as we had no cult operations. 2014 class.
I listened like my life depended on it😩
The guy was saying the truth, I was students' Union Official Representing Students in Senate Disciplinary Committee then in a position to know the leadership of all Cult groups on UNN. University lecturers are usually patrons of Secret Cult Groups bcos I attend their annual parties of most of them.I knew which lecturer was patron of which group.
I urge you guys to tell any younger ones you know to say NO to cultism.
I’ve experienced and lived it, na it’s only God’s grace that can deliver anyone who is already in it.
Especially in institutions.
Today marks the 23rd years, may their soul rest in perfect peace. May God heal Nigeria
Thank you for this well detailed story Legacy, we heard and read about the incident but it was never this detailed. So sad to know that the authorities knew about it. What a world! May the fallen heroes continue to rest in peace 🕊️🕊️. People like Afrika are once in a lifetime kind of people 😢 painful he had his life cut-off.
OAU remain forever grateful for the good fight you fought for generations to come
Hmmm😢😢😢😢. He tried that he remembered. So traumatic. Afrika, Oke and others, may your gentle souls rest in peace. Things have happened in this country.
My eldwr beoher ws in the same room that Afrika was in. My father's first son. He escaped and he cant even remember how ot happened but he did. He was in 200level when it happened. Today hes the bright star of our family. That incident changed his life forever. He never spoke of what he saw till date. He lives with his famly in rivers state
Are you sure he wasn't the one who betrayed the Union?
You shouldn’t have disclosed where he is. Isn’t it dangerous
Your elder brother is FARO?
Woah i also live in rivers state
Nah! He's not Faro. He is a security personnel (DSS). He's alright.
Good job legacy, you're indeed a worthy leader.
This comrade is living with some dark stories men, I hope he sleeps well at nights, I myself just imagining this is brutal enough
RT
Very engaging interview! I used to think university SUG leaders were a bunch of attention-seeking trouble makers. But I'm impressed by this guy's account of their philosophy, struggle, methods, and successes, and the eloquence with which he delivers this firsthand account. With such powerful enemies, they should have arranged for their personal protection 24/7.
Legacy IS a lenged may Allah continues to protect you
Aluta continua... Victoria ascerta!!
Very unfortunate incident but still very proud to walk through OAU.
The government have been failing us for decades now 😢. What a country
Oh my God !!! Great Ife . Where is Legacy? God bless you ! A great leader
Nigeria failed the youth long time ago!! no be today
It was the formal President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasnjo given backup to VC Wale Omole. As he has foreseen another activists coming up that will be challenging the evil government.
It is high time people will know that the head of institutions in Nigeria: VC, Rectors and provost are the tools government of Nigeria used to terminate the life of young vibrant and brilliant individual that may be an obstacle to them in the future.
The last election 2023 explained it all, in which university Vice chancellors were used to conduct the general elections. The election was manipulated, rigged and disappointed to Nigerians on a stolen mandate.
Killing has been the normal way for Nigerian leaders. They are all always active in prosecuting innocent people clamouring for truth.
May the souls of galant comrades rest in peace. Rest on Africa, we salute 🫡 you.
I've been looking for this comment. It goes back to the president yhen & their "britherhoid" using their campus cktists. That oresident wass scared of how he can be checked by the unionists. OAU stared down a whole Abacha!! Nucleus of student unionism in Nigeria. Quell student unionism in OAU, and all camouses will go quiet. That's the plan. It backfiired..
I watched the last interview professor wale omole granted.. He actualled keep talking about no government.. I noticed the interviewer never talked about the oau massacre then I knew it was doctored.. And deliberate... Rest on George Iwilade and the fallen heroes.
Heartbroken afresh!
This country is truly cursed.
God bless you Legacy, wherever you are
This is very upsetting especially considering he is still receiving praise and accolades. God protect you for speaking up
Thanks for this documentary.
10th July 1999: And I heard sporadic gunshots on the Ife campus like I never encountered on any university campus before or after that incident. The shots disturbed the sonorous music coming from the Kegites gyration in the Awolowo Hall that night. It was a night indeed! Someone must also dig into the killing of Okpanka (Final Year student) under Adeola Soetan's union presidency in 1991. We are still alive to speak!
Someone? Why not you?
@@olagunjuolawale7433
You want make dem kill am as dem kill afrika..?
Go away
@@benjaminboyede4112 lol
And where is this Wale Omole? Still walking free and riding with the high and mighty in Nigeria? Karma must catch up with him and his children!
Karma don't miss address
Oh yes! What an evil man!
2/3/2024, Nigerian system had rotten inside before now. How many years now that this illegality was performed and perfected without any organ of government in power did nothing to it. Young people were killed, future of tomorrow, see Lanre Adeleke life was messed up, just because he stood for truth.
That's why agbero is better than educated citizen of our dear country.
Where is the judge now, where is professor Wale Omole? Where is Oyo state government and the Federal government.
We don't need to cry, we know that we will end up this way long a go as a country because truth has fallen for long in our street. Nothing can no longer hold together, truth is the belt that hold sanity and development of a successful country of today.
I feel like weeping for this nation when i listen to this guy
Today again, we remember Afrika, we remember his sacrifice
And today again (2 years after ur comment and 22 years after the incident), we remember Afrika and others and we remember their sacrifice
@@victorsunday879and today 24 years later we remember a fallen hero
Of all the , Charles story is so inspiring...the power of words and will...Charles so willed and power of words kept saying "I wont die ,passed out and came back saying I wont die ,I wont die ..would be lovely to hear from charles and the story of his words of life na d wil power even acknowledged by the medical doctor ❤
God richly bless you for fighting for justice for your guys may he also console you
He's smart to be remembering dates and time verbatively
He is quite intelligent, yes. But even a dullard would recall exact horrific details of a turning point like that
The way you quickly glossed over Africa's shooting, refusing to dwell on it, or mention how he was butchered.... Honour! Pain!
I feel same bro
Painful memories. 😢. To borrow one of this great man words, "Recognition. Justice must be done!"
Good job Lanre Legacy, I remember listening to one of your speeches at the amphitheatre after the hike in school fees.
Very interesting interview. Nawa o, e don tey naija don jagajaga.
I remember the sad incident very well... what a bad day it was!!
Legacy, very sound mind. Wish you all the best in life. 🎉
I noticed that from that era in 1999, very intelligent guy
Thanks for detailing this sad episode in the history of OAU. I was just getting ready for first year in Uni when this happened. Shook my faith in going to Uni.. never knew the whole story but definitely remember Efosa being caught and the death of Afrika, a good man with so much potentials. Sad to know now that the VC spearheaded it.. and got away with it. Such an atrocity..
True statement from legacy,I witnessed everything.
Legacy, you are a leader, I do not know where you are now, please Nigeria needs you so much.
Guess what, Prof. Wale Omole is 80+ now and continues to be celebrated in Nigeria.
😢 imagine 😮
Sad
His child Dr. Omole reckons his father is the best person on earth
This man is very intelligent
Extremes! Legacy
Well done.
Kudos to a man you are. 💪
Thanks for the story.. long live Africa❤❤
May God keep keeping you safe "Legacy" , what an appropriate and befitting nick name
Indeed Nigeria's impunity is endemic.
We need someone like this and Sowore in power❤
My first thought.
So much courage.
Where is the justice?May God save Nigeria.
Great info. A true narration. I was in part 1 then ready for BOT 101 exams at Fajuyi cafe when Faro (the then Judas Iscariot as SUG PRO) came to inform us. It was a gory experienced then. May the soul of the falling Comrades led by Africa rest in Peace and the soul of betrayers led by Omole rot in hell fire.
Tears dropped 😢 from my eyes listening to this. It shall not be well with their killers. 😢
Lanre Legend and Afrika did their jobs as the executives of SUG far better than the VC that ran the school. They were forces to be reckoned with, that is why they were targeted to me this unfortunately seems like an assassination attack. What have schools turned into ?????? these are places that are supposed to provide a haven of learning but instead are ransacked with diabolism, violence, and injustice. I just feel so sorry for the parents of the victims who lost their lives, they sent their children to school hoping they would be better people, but their children ended up coming home in body bags and no just till today. RIP Afrika and everyone who lost their lives may we continue to live lives of integrity and not compromise our values and beliefs for power.
Man!!!...just learning about this... Completely broken, that's how i feel.
Afrika is Legend. R.I.P to them all.
This is just university politics, Imagine how bloody it is with State and Federal Politics . GOD help us in Nigeria.
I was a student at Ife between 1993/1994 to 1998/1999 academic session
All what Lanre legacy Adeleke said were true
May the souls of those who lost thier lives RIPP Amen
May the young and vibrant soul of Afrika continues to rest in peace.
I read exactly as legacy has said in Prof Roger Makanjiola book A river must flow upwards..
May God who has kept you thus far, continue to keep you in Jesus name! Wale omole will pay... God will make sure of it. He will die a lonely man, he will go down d grave in pain!
The challenges facing Nigeria are so immense that achieving positive change in all areas is extremely challenging. When persistent crimes occur in a particular area for an extended period, it is often linked to high-ranking officials within the system, either directly or indirectly. It is disheartening that the lives lost cannot be brought back, and the issues they fought for persist, while those responsible for their deaths receive special treatment and are often released without consequence as if nothing had occurred. We find ourselves in a nation where the majority of institutions that form the system are heavily influenced by individuals with malevolent intentions. Nigeria can be likened to a crime-ridden environment. RIP to Afrika and all the Hero’s who stood for the student
They did not understand that CHANGE is a FORCE that can not be STOP.
Really detailed
You should be a youth ambassador or minister .commissioner..better still a governor to turn the fortune and future of the youths and this country around for good
Half way through...why is this Professor not in jail?...why is there no justice for these guys?
I was at Room 67 Faj Hall, It was a gnasty gory night.
God bless Legacy
This Man was a true warrior
He really worked for the Student.
Long live Comrade
Afrika will forever be remembered for his bravery and Pan-Africanism. Hope to see Law Students wearing African attire during court sessions
Nigeria is a country that has many big problems....we need to start teaching morals before it gets worse. Now cultism is a pride, politicians, singers, important figures etc are proud members without hidden identities.
They have a lot of evidence!! Justice should be served !!
This Prof. Omole is still alive, and I believe the case should be revisited with all the evidence. But I'm very sure that he will never go unpunished.
Very much alive and Chrisland University BOT member, what an irony.
@@georgeprecious1036
If so then this coverage should be made to go viral social media, things have changed in this times, the whole world need to know who is wale omole and his link :oau - chrisland school
@@georgeprecious1036what??
Not long after this incident in ogba, a suburb of Ikeja in Lagos.
There was a vacant plot next to my father's house, suddenly there was construction activity taking place. Within 6 months a duplex and two flats were constructed. We were all wondering who had so much money to put a building of this magnitude so fast. To the best of my knowledge the owner never came around when the construction was on going. But when it was finished he moved.
The owner was Professor Omole! Of course he had all heard about what happened in Ife so we were kind of shocked that he had become our neighbor!
Nawa oo, God allow these type of men live ,nawa o
31 minutes well spent. That was quite a watch.
Thank you boss
Rip to afrika. This man speak like Lion live in him❤ . this are the type of pple that supose be in power. Somone who is ready to serve pple and die for pple.
May the souls of those innocent lost continue to sleep well in the Lord, and may the long hand of karma find Omole and those that have hands in the killing
Who’s here 2024😌
