The Polytechnic Ibadan Students’ Forum is an anti-cultism group comprising of students and former students of the citadel of learning. Ahmed was involved in the fight against cultism through his activities as a member of the forum.

The deceased was allegedly given several axe cuts in the neck before he was finally shot at a close range by suspected members of the Aiye Confraternity. Ahmed, also an indigene of Apete community, who was confirmed dead immediately was buried this morning.

A friend of the deceased, who pleaded anonymity, described the incident as unfortunate, adding that the deceased was a freedom fighter who had earlier rescued several students.

“They (cultists) have been looking for him for a long time. Anytime Ahmed is on campus and they ( the cultists) carry out their nefarious activities, such as extorting the innocent students, collecting their phones, Ahmed usually crossed their path”, the source told Mega Icon Magazine.

As at press time, our reporter reliably gathered that some suspected cultists have been arrested and now in police custody and investigation is ongoing.
