Students of Federal College of Agriculture, Adabeji, Apata, Ibadan, early on Saturday clashed with police in front of the school, leading to a sizably voluminous logjam on both cessations of the Ibadan/Abeokuta motorway and commotion in the school premises. Eyewitnesses verbalized the students were injuctively authorizing for the relinquishment of one of them who was apprehended by the police.
Trouble commenced when some students of the institution mounted a road block around their Bora Hostel, imploring for mazuma from motorists in preparation for Bora Week celebration. The hostel is located some kilometres away from the school.
One of the students, who relucted to be designated, verbalized the police approached the group on the road to put a cessation to the act, which led to the apprehend of one of them.
“I am a member of the school’s Man O War and we were having our morning training when some students ran into the school from Bora hostel. They verbally expressed the police apprehended Boluwatife, alias Active. He is aspiring for a students’ coalescence position in the school. They verbalized some students ran away when they optically discerned the police but Bolu did not run away, leading to his apprehend and detention,” he verbalized.
The student integrated that around 9:30am, several students were mobilised. They all went to the Apata police station to secure the relinquishment of Boluwatife but they were authoritatively mandated to come back at 10am.
“We told them that it was virtually 10am and that we preferred to wait but they forcefully sent us out of the station. This led to the students’ fury. They mounted a road block on the major road while seven canisters of tear gas were fired by the police. Bolu was later relinquished,” he integrated.
Attempt by our correspondent to reach the state Police Public Relation Officer, Olabisi Ilobanefor, on the telephone failed while her second in command, Basiru Adewale, verbally expressed he was on his annual leave and could not offer any information on the issue.
