Pandemonium broke out Wednesday in Abeokuta, the state
capital when some students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, MAPOLY, Abeokuta took
to the streets of Abeokuta amidst sporadic gun shots.
The students were reportedly protesting the alleged plan by
the management to rig the Students Union Government Election held on Tuesday in
favour of its candidate.
Some properties including official car of Deputy Rector, Mr
Lekan Famuyiwa, security vans were allegedly destroyed by the aggrieved
students while one security officer was attacked, shortly after the election
was annulled midway by the management.
The students who took to the streets in the state capital,
made bon-fires in various places prevented motorists from passing the Panseke,
Oke-Ilewo, Sodubi and Oloke for hours.
There were sporadic gun shots by the protesters, who were
chased away by men of State Security Service SSS, who had laid ambush for them
when they got to the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Secretariat, Iwe-Iroyin
in Oke-Ilewo.
