Graduating from university is normally an occasion for a family get-together, and this was

certainly a big celebration for the Ogunsanya quadruplets who were handed their well-

deserved degrees from the same university on the same day. The 23-year-old quads, identical

sisters and the oldest by four minutes, Toks and Temi, and identical brothers, Tobi

and Tolu, graduated from Warwick University with Master Degrees.

All four have landed jobs in the city already. Toks graduated with an M.Eng. in manufacturing

and engineering, and Temi, Tobi and Tolu all gained an MSC in management from Warwick

Business School.

The quads, originally from Lagos, Nigeria, have been living in the United Kingdom since the age

of seven when they began boarding schools before heading to Warwick University. Since

leaving university they have all landed top city jobs.

Toks is due to start working for RBS in London later this year, Temi, who interned at Santander

over the summer, has been offered a permanent position with the bank, and Tolu is due to

start working for one of the ‘Big 4’ accountancy firms in the City. “Our parents are four times as

proud of us,” added Tobi, who is mulling over two offers from two major City firms.” They’ve

supported us financially and have encouraged us all the way. Without their help we wouldn’t be

here today,” he said.

SIX NIGERIANS, OTHERS ARRESTED IN SOUTH AFRICA OVER CLASH WITH POLICE.

Some foreign nationals, including six Nigerians, were arrested after a clash with the

Police at Kempton Park in Johannesburg on Saturday. Some of the foreign nationals felt their

rights were being violated when police searched their flats for illegal weapons, drugs and illegal

immigrants.

A Nigerian, Kunle Oyekunbi, said that the police harassed them and their belongings were

taken.” The police came late in the night. They broke down our doors, they were just harassing

everybody once you are a foreigner. They took our belongings and destroyed our property all in

the name of searching for drugs and weapons.” Oyekunbi continued, “Money was exhorted

from those who can afford it, those without money were arrested. Even our food was not

spared by the Police, we are now left with nothing.”

However, South Africa’s Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson, Katilego Mogale, said nothing was

confiscated as the raid was interrupted by the violence. The spokesperson said: “Some of the

foreign nationals were involved in public violence; therefore the police had to detain some of

them. The suspects will be appearing in the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court soon.”

Meanwhile, more than 150 citizens of the Democratic Republic of Congo were arrested  by the

Police and would be charged to court. South Africa’s Police Task Force arrested the suspects in

their homes in Johannesburg after series of clashes between supporters of President Joseph

Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the opposition leader, Etienne Tshisekedi.
