PHOTO: Secondary school cultist stabs boy with ‘poisoned knife’ #SayNoToCultism

Oluwadamilare before his leg was amputated

When 16-year-old boy, Oluwadamilare Olugbamu, left home for school on the morning of July 1, 2015, he probably didn’t know the magnitude of danger that was ahead of him.

Shortly after the young lad had left the compound of his Nawarudeen Secondary School, Jibowu, Lagos, at the close of school hours, he was attacked with a knife by .....
another 16-year-old boy suspected to be a cult member.

The assailant, Idris Ajagbe, a pupil of Birel Secondary School, Lagos, stabbed him in the left thigh, with a knife, which the family said might have been poisoned.

Eleven days after the attack, his left leg was amputated at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos because blood no longer flowed through it.

Again on August 15, the same leg had to be re-amputated again because it continued to bleed without healing.

This bizarre case has left a lot of questions than answers on the issue of cult groups in secondary schools in Nigeria.
