Yusuf Nurudeen Alowonle, a graduate of the Department of Educational Management, Lagos State University (LASU), was on Wednesday night shot dead by unknown gunmen in front of the school gate.

Popularly known as Omomeewa, the LASU graduate during his time as a student was reported to have contested the office of the president of the school’s Student Union Government (SUG) but did not emerge the winner.

He was shot at about 10 pm last night (Wednesday night) while in company with a staff of the university simply identified as Majek.

Omomeewa who was fatally shot, later died of his injuries, while Majek sustained some injuries.

Eyewitnesses said the gunmen went away with his bag containing his phone and other valuables.

Reacting to the sad incident, the President of the school SUG, Badmus Oladipupo Uthman, said that the unknown gunmen were probably armed robbers.

“The Lagos State University Students’ Union is so sad to announce the demise of our dear Unionist and Activist, the Founder of Educational Rights Campaign, Comr. Yusuf Nurudeen Alowonle(Omomeewa).

“Omomeewa was an activist of Human and Student Rights and also a graduate of Lagos State University (Set of 2019).
