A twitter user who goes by the name Twoncrier tweeted that Africicanado made an exciting video the night before he was killed, he said “Yesterday, the murdered #Aficionado did this video, wherein he showed his excitement about entering the new month of November. Less than 19 hours into the new month, he was killed”

However, another Twitter user has blamed the incident on failure of the university administrators to provide adequate security for students on campus. And the act of empowering these campus cultists by way of no curbing their excess activities all over the country.
