Stephen is a promising young Doctor, had his Convocation in UNILAG yesterday, robbed & stabbed yesterday right in front of where he works.
Is this the reward for all the years?
No where is safe anymore, so much pains & grief everywhere.

I graduated from the College of Medicine, LUTH in 2012. Medical school IS NOT FOR THE FAINTHEARTED. I mean a few students suffered temporary mental health issues due to rigorous academic requirements and clinical exams. This news is disheartening! Rest in power #JusticeForStephen pic.twitter.com/CzNvfsYFNu

He just graduated…last year
Convocated…this year
Started work….this year
He was a young doctor, full of life
But some people thought otherwise….robbed him, stabbed him and killed him.
Nigeria we can do better for our citizens #JusticeForStephen @PoliceNG pic.twitter.com/5fkaQHERMc
