A 41-year-old Lagos State University undergraduate, Billy Oyiza, is now confronting the devastating consequences of his past mistakes, which cost him his freedom and tragically, his father’s life. According to a Punch Newspaper report, Oyiza recently regained his freedom from the Kirikiri Custodial Centre in Lagos and is living with profound regret over his involvement in cult activities.
His journey into cultism began during his teenage years, driven by poor decisions and negative peer influence. Oyiza described developing a strong urge to join a cult group, fueled by a desire for power and respect. This early attraction to cultism set a dangerous trajectory for his life.

In secondary school, Oyiza and six classmates formed a group called Seven Stars. They became known for confronting teachers and fellow students, operating under the slogan, “an injury to one is an injury to all.” This group fostered a culture of violence and disobedience that would later define his youth. The sense of belonging he found there paved the way for more serious involvement.
Upon gaining admission to Lagos State University, Oyiza’s desire for dominance intensified. He joined a more dangerous cult group on campus, believing it would solidify his power and command respect. However, he quickly discovered the severe consequences of his choices. Rivalry between cult groups often erupted in violent clashes, impacting both members and innocent students. Oyiza eventually found himself arrested and imprisoned following one such violent confrontation.
As detailed in the complete version, there are several key factors to consider.
A Life-Altering Wake-Up Call
Life in prison was a difficult and transformative experience. While serving his sentence, Oyiza received the devastating news that his father had died. He believes the stress and shame caused by his criminal activities contributed directly to his father’s death, a loss that shattered him completely. This tragedy marked the beginning of his deep remorse and a firm resolve to change his life.
Since his release, Billy Oyiza has chosen a new path. He has returned to Lagos State University to complete his studies and is now committed to using his experience as a warning. He actively discourages young people from joining cults or engaging in any criminal activities, emphasizing that the pursuit of power through cultism is a dangerous illusion with lifelong consequences.
