Secondary Sch Student Arrested For Killing A Prefect Who Punished Him For Lateness To School

A 19 year old student of Gaskia College, Amukoko, Lagos,
Saka Hammed, who allegedly stabbed the school’s Labour
prefect, Saheed Jimoh, to death on Wednesday for
punishing him over being late to school, has been
arrested by police.
He was allegedly arrested by policemen attached to
Amukoko Division, sometime around 6.40p.m. yesterday.
According to Vanguard, when they visited Gaskia College
yesterday, normal school activities had resumed as
students were seen in their respective classes receiving
lectures. Officials from the office of Educational Quality
Assurance, Zone 14, were also seen in the school,
compiling reports of the incident.
A man who identified himself as the Vice Principal said
he couldn’t talk to reporters.
However, a student, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said:
“There are several cult factions in the school. It is an
open secret that many students are involved in cult-
related activities and the use of charms.
“One of the common charms used by some of the
students is called ‘no touch blood’, which is a very
poisonous charm that kills instantly when it comes in
contact with blood.

Perhaps, in the case of Saheed, his killer could have
tried to test the potency of the charm.”
Another senior student of the school revealed that that
Hammed only resumed for the term on Monday. He said
Hammed had failed woefully and was supposed to repeat
SSS 2. He said he used to be in the same class as the
deceased when they were in SS2 but the deaceased
passed and was promoted to SSS 3. But he stopped
coming to school.
He said:
“On Monday, his father brought him to school to see the
principal. Only for the incident to occur on
Wednesday.
