Abisoye Taiwo, a 100 level student of
Forestry and Wildlife Management of the
Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta
(FUNAAB) in Ogun state was reportedly shot
today after a peaceful protest by students of
the school degenerated.
The students were staging a protest over
insecurity on campus as some robbers
attacked some hostels in the school last
night, killing a 100 level Banking and
Finance student in the process.
The angry students decided to stage a
protest this morning as the spate of robbery
attacks had increased within the school
premises in the last one month. They
accused the management of the school of
refusing to address the issue by providing
them adequate security.
The students claim that a bullet fired by one
of the police officers invited by the school
management to restore law and order within
the school premises, hit the 100 level student
who died instantly.
Read a press statement from the school's
Student Union Government below
All academic activities including FPY,
PRACTICALS SHOULD be halted until
a lasting solution is found to the state
of security. The university authority
should write a letter of commitment to
extend their security responsibilities
towards the student environment off
campus. The management should
compel the Commissioner of police to
come down to the protest ground this
morning. If these are not done, the
protest will not end. The University
gate will be locked.
