But the trauma and PTSD from that night remains even today. I was indeed lucky to be alive.

Sadly not everyone will be so lucky if something isn’t done to ensure security on that canal road especially.

And oh it was just past 8pm that fateful night. In fact,#JusticeForStephen

The environs of LUTH should be sanitized. Area boys, miscreants and those under the influence should be disloged. @AkinwunmiAmbode, @jidesanwoolu, @JokeSanwoolu, @tundefashola, @MBuhari, please protect hospital staff and students.

RIP Dr Stephen Urueye#JusticeForStephen

I have been a victim of their robbery. They cane last 3yrs to the hospital, attacked the mosque inside the school and took our belongings. It was a sad Day. We proceeded to the police post just at the gate. The police men slapped one of us. Very sad #JusticeForStephen

A hospital in an environment of high crime rate. Yet the govt has done nothing to tighten security

Now in one night a young promising Dr, only son, who just convocated on Wednesday, stabbed to death by 9pm AT LUTH GATE + Male and Female hostels robbed!

I remember 2010 when my guy, Kazeem and I got into the hands of some fraudsters/ritualits/robbers around that Idi-Araba side that would possibly have killed us. We were behind LUTH hoping someone somewhere would save us.

Idi-Araba is really rough!

#JusticeForStephen Protesters are being harassed by "Okada" & Bus drivers for blocking their route – causing traffic. @PoliceNG Were you not informed about the protest?

It's disheartening coming online to see this, I can't imagine what his parents r going through right now, How long will all this continues. He lived saving lives but his couldn't be saved. The system just failed one of it own. May his soul rest in peace #JusticeForStephen

You go to class for overnight reading, derz a chance of someone robbing or raping you, you face a whole lot of trauma frm school activities, you finally graduate and a random thief takes ur life away after convocation… #JusticeForStephen

It is terribly disheartening to hear about the gruesome murder of a recently inducted medical doctor. I didn't know him personally but I know what it means to be cut down with your whole life ahead of you. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends #JusticeForStephen pic.twitter.com/rpQYrypqD7
