JANUARY 8 of every year is a date that would never be forgotten by the family of late Simeon Olaosebikan Apata. It was a day that the bread winner, a civil war hero and education icon was murdered in his cold blood by unknown gunmen. The founder of the famous Apata Memorial Schools, Isolo, Lagos State, was killed right inside his building by the gang of blood-thirsty hoodlums who held other members of the family at gun point on that fateful day that the family was savoring the joy of their newborn baby and watching their favorite television programme, the Bisi Olatilo Show (BOS).
