Interview with Ogunbiyi Jubril Head of class for Accounting department

"I feel the reason for the rally wasn't to cause any violence whatsoever or request for anything from the management but to pray for the deceased souls and pray for God's protection over we the students. They are both very jovial, calm and gentle set of people, it's sad it had to end this way though. I pray in Jesus name that their soul rest in perfect peace and God's protection shall continue to overshadow we his children in this school and we shall never have any cause to gather because of this reason in this school no more".

Oyebola Oyindamola, 100 level student of Accounting said:

"The rally we did was perfect, at first I didn't know if my course mate could cooperate with the rally but we thank God it went well because Mariam and Akunna really are worth it. They are both loving and fun to be with. My prayer for them is that may their soul rest in perfect peace and I also pray we don't record something like this again in our school".

Osikoya Iremide said:

"I feel it was a good way of showing our last respect to the ones we lost. Akunna and Mariam are neutral persons, never did I hear about any of them having issues with someone from my department. I pray for my school, that it may be a place of learning, growth, and support for all who pass through its doors".

Akorede Fatiha Boluwatife said:

"Akunna was a selfless and jovial person.My first conversation with her was just 2 weeks ago, had I known that was also the last time we were going to talk, I would have hugged her so tightly. Mariam had a simple life, I think we talked just once or twice where she teased me . I pray that the rain of mercy and forgiveness fall on their graves . God should give their parents the fortitude to bear the loss. May we not hear of such occurrence again in the school"
