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.
