Students of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Osun State, have protested the arrest of their colleagues by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Tht students, DAILY POST gathered, attacked some buildings on the campus of the polytechnic, where they also vandalised vehicles belonging to staff members.
Eyewitnesses said the incident occurred late on Thursday.
DAILY POST had reported that the EFCC operators from the Ibadan Zonal office had carried out a midnight raid on some hostels around the Owode-Ede area.
Some students were arrested during the sting operation and taken to the Ibadan zonal office of the anti-graft agency.
But the management of the polytechnic, in a statement signed by the institution’s Public Relations Officer, Sola Lawal, said the identities of those students reportedly arrested could not be immediately ascertained.
Displeased by the development, some yet-to-be-identified students vandalised buildings within the premises and vehicles.
Two students residing in female hostels located within the premises of the polytechnic, said those involved hurled pebbles at some buildings, including the staff club, and damaged some vehicles.
One of the students said, “The students were protesting the arrest of our colleagues by the EFCC. They hurled stones at the administrative building, but they concentrated on the staff club.
“They damaged some vehicles there. Those involved came to campus between 7 pm and 8 pm on Thursday.”
The institution’s spokesperson, Sola Lawal, when contacted confirmed the incident.
He said, “The management of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, condemns the act of vandalism carried out last night (Thursday) by some misguided students which led to the vandalism of staff vehicles at the staff club.
“Lastly, the management is using this medium to warn mischief makers whose agenda is to disrupt the ongoing first-semester examination, as any students or fifth columnist caught disturbing the peace and tranquility of the institution will be dealt with decisively; to be forewarned is to be forearmed.”

Panic among Ondo varsity students over missing colleagues

Published

on

The student community of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, has been thrown into a state of panic following the mysterious disappearance of two of their colleagues.

The whereabouts of the students, Andrel Okah of the Department of History and International Studies, and John Abba of the Department of Economics, who were last seen two weeks ago, have caused fear and despair among their coursemates.

Both students are in 200-level, and according to close friends, all efforts to reach them via their phones have been unsuccessful. This has raised particular concern, as they are known for their regular attendance at classes and academic activities.

According to a fellow student, who identified himself as Ajibola, the two students have not been seen on campus for the past two weeks, behaviour he described as highly unusual, hence the growing anxiety.

He said, “We don’t even know if it is a case of kidnapping or something else. The two of them are very close, though. But efforts to reach them through their phones have repeatedly failed. Their sudden disappearance is giving us concerns. The students’ community is already worried and also agitated.”

Expressing frustration over what he described as a lack of urgency from the relevant authorities, Ajibola noted that, although the matter had been reported to both the university management and the police, no concrete action had yet been taken.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the institution, Mr Victor Akinpelumi, stated that the police had already been informed of the development by the university.

Similarly, the spokesperson for the state police command, Olayinka Ayanlade, confirmed that the matter had been reported and was under investigation.
