He was reportedly struck by a stray bullet during a violent clash between rival cult groups in the area.<\/p>\n

The tragic incident reportedly took place on Tuesday, September 23, shortly after Taoreed had received his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) call-up letter from the institution.<\/p>\n

Eyewitnesses said the violence erupted a day earlier, on Monday, September 22, when suspected cultists engaged in a clash near the school premises during the signing-out celebrations of final-year students.<\/p>\n

A student of the institution, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed that gunshots were heard during the event, forcing students to flee for safety.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWe were signing out after our exams in the afternoon when we suddenly started hearing gunshots outside the school premises.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone ran for cover. It was later that we discovered that a final-year student had been killed by cultists. It was a terrible situation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The student recalled that a similar incident had occurred the previous year during another sign-out celebration, noting that insecurity had become a recurring problem during such gatherings.<\/p>\n

A video showed students running helter-skelter around the school gate as gunfire erupted in Osun State.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A police source revealed that Taoreed\u2019s death occurred the following day during a reprisal attack along the Ilesa\u2013Esa-Oke Road, Osun State.<\/p>\n

The source explained that the deceased had gone to the school to collect his NYSC call-up letter and was waiting to board a bus home when gunmen suddenly opened fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened was a reprisal after the final-year student was killed on Monday. The cultists had targeted their rivals in the area where Taoreed was trying to board a bus.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThey started shooting, and one of the stray bullets hit him. When he heard the gunshots, he ran for safety without realising he had been hit. He was later found in a nearby bush, where he crawled to but was unresponsive,\u201d the source said.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was gathered that Taoreed\u2019s NYSC call-up letter was found inside a black cross bag he was carrying at the time of the incident in Osun State.<\/p>\n

When contacted, the Osun State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, confirmed the development.<\/p>\n

Ojelabi described it as a cult-related clash that claimed two lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a cult clash. Two students were killed. One died on the spot, and the other died in the hospital.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cEfforts are ongoing to arrest the perpetrators,\u201d Ojelabi stated.<\/em><\/p>\n
