He was said to have been on his way home after the close of work on Tuesday when some gunmen chased and shot him in his car.

Maimunat, his wife, who spoke with SaharaReporters on Thursday, described the incident as shocking.

She said, “My husband told me that he was coming and I did not see him again but I later saw his pictures and how he was shot dead on social media.

“He dropped me off at work on Monday night because I was on night shift and that was the day I saw him last. On Tuesday I did not see him, he took care of the children and also to school. I called him around 2:00pm that we needed some money and he sent N2000. That was the last communication we had.

“Around 6:00pm, I called him, his phone was ringing but he did not pick. I left for work but when I got to office I started receiving calls from people telling me that they just want to greet me but I did not suspect anything.

“I didn’t even know that they are aware that my husband was dead.”

Family members, friends and traditional rulers in the area have all called on the Ogun State Government to unmask those behind the killing.

A youth forum, Alliance for Oke-Ogun Development, has demanded a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

In a statement by its Coordinator, Fasasi Abiodun, the group called on security agencies not to allow the matter to be swept under the carpet.

The statement reads, “We mourn this loss of a notable youth from Oke-Ogun who has despite his young age contributed to the progress of the society as a scholar, he will be sorely missed.

“He had a great impact on the lives of hundreds of his students, friends, family and relatives before his death.”

The Ogun State Police Command in a statement said it had commenced investigation into the incident, adding that findings would be made public soon.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
