Desmond came to the University of Benin hoping for a fresh start. He wanted to forget the troubled past he had left behind in Abraka and focus on completing his degree.
For years, he kept a low profile, concentrating on his studies and building a new life. Eventually, he became involved in Kegiteโs Club, believing he could move forward and leave the past behind.
But on April 3, 2023, tragedy struck. According to the account, armed men arrived at Hall 3 and fatally shot him in his room.
His life ended before he could complete the new chapter he had worked so hard to build.
Desmondโs story leaves behind a painful question: Can we truly escape our past, or do some choices follow us forever?
Sometimes, the past is a lesson to learn from, not a life to return to.
Say no to cultism. Say no to violence. Choose peace.
