Vikings: I Killed My Neighbor, He Didn’t See It Coming -Oyiza

A Lagos State University undergraduate, Billy Oyiza, has revealed he spent seven years in Kirikiri Correctional Centre after a murder conviction tied to a deadly cult clash. Oyiza detailed how a violent 2018 confrontation between rival groups led to his imprisonment.

The incident reportedly occurred during a fight between his cult group, Aro (Vikings), and the Aiye confraternity at Yaba College of Technology. Oyiza explained that he discovered his LASU neighbour belonged to the rival Aiye cult during this volatile period.

Driven by fear and a hunger for power, Oyiza confessed to planning his neighbour’s murder to advance within his own cult group. “Driven by hunger for power and fear, I created a confrontation and killed him,” Oyiza stated. “He didn’t see it coming because he didn’t know I was one of them.”

The Deadly Confrontation

Oyiza admitted to confronting and shooting his neighbour in the chest. The gunshot immediately drew attention from campus security and police officers who arrived swiftly at the scene. Authorities arrested Oyiza on the spot following the fatal shooting.

As detailed in the complete version, there are several key factors to consider.

After his arrest, Oyiza began what would become a seven-year stay at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre. The undergraduate remained incarcerated until his eventual release, marking the end of his prison term for the cult-related murder.

This case highlights the ongoing challenge of cult clashes within Nigerian educational institutions. The violent confrontation between rival groups continues to claim lives and derail promising academic careers, leaving lasting consequences for those involved.
