17th Aug.....
There was a robbery incident on Wednesday night at Adejoke Hostel, It's very close to the school gate. One of our students was matched on his head while the robbery was ongoing.The robbery cases have been occurring since the beginning of the 1st semester. These robbers were always armed and could raid up to 3hostels before the arrival of the policemen
When the students got tired of being robbed during the first semester, a protest was made at isolu and it went peacefully.The university management in conjunction with the state police came to the aid of the students then and for 2months we didn't hear of any robbery case. But last week , another 2hostels were raided before Wednesday night were another raid lead to our students being apprehended and matched
, no policemen came to our aid and the EFCC had just invited our VC for alleged mismanagement of funds.
On Thursday 19th, very early in the morning funaab students lead by the students Union started a protest by blocking the Funaab- alabata road that leads into the university. Shortly after then, a road blockade was also fixed at camp, then the demands of the students union was to see the commissioner of police so as to address the issues. Hours Later, the PPro of the Ogun state command addressed the students saying they have one of the robbers at their custody, and the students demanded they want to see evidences that they have obtain one of them
The p.pro then refused. Students who were available at the protest ground demanded for the press so as to pour out their mind but none came.
Shortly after did an unidentified personality came who said he his representing the odeda local government constituency. He was coming from Ibadan alongside with his escorts
It was one of the escort who shot delibrately at our student (Taiwo Abisoye 100lv Fwm) in the eye.
Taiwo Abisoye was filled with blood and rushed quickly to the hospital
A rumour went into circulation as at then that taiwo was dead
This angered the students, and other indigenes of the area as the protest turned into violence. Cars were burnt, some vandalized, the VC church was also attacked.
Shortly after, troops of policemen arrived at the scene with their vans firing tear gas at students and bullets into the air.
Just after few hours of calming the situation , the policemen invaded the students hostels at camp and also arrested those who were innocently walking along the calmed axis. Over 50 students were arrested and conveyed to the Ogun state police headquarters (Eleweran) that day, many of which were innocent
The policemen were following the order of the CP Ogun state police command to arrest 150 students. The students who were arrested never went through thorough investigation as suspects, they were all sent to the court the next morning
The court had place a bail of 100,000 or a collateral worth that amount and 2 sureties.
27 students were granted bail
Some of the detainees have been released after providing the necessary grants by the court
On Friday, 19th Aug
Many media houses had written another side of the story
The Pro of the Ogun state police command had said on live TV that our students attacked the policemen and two were injured (lie)
He also said taiwo abisoye was hit by a stone throw from a fellow student who was also at the protest ground (Total lie)
What we are fighting for
•Our students have been robbed of their valuables and raped as well, the police are yet to give us a report of the people behind this incessant activities.
• The students did not burn any Church as it was reported by some newspapers
• The students are demanding justice to be done to the policeman who shot Taiwo Abisoye in the eye
• 100,000 naira bail for students who were innocent is much
•The Government and University management should find a lasting solution to this robbery situation.
