After eight of LASU students who
were involved in one of their protests on Tuesday were arraigned before an
Ikeja chief magistrate’s court for alleged breach of public peace by Police,
students in their hundreds yesterday around 3:00pm matched to the governor’s
office and barricaded the entrance with two BRT buses and other vehicles they
came with.
They danced, lay their beds on the
floor and set up traditional cooking stove where they cooked beans for
themselves and sang solidarity songs. Read more and see more pics after the cut...
Private security men at the entrance
quickly locked up the gate preventing them from entering and alerted police
officers attached to Area F police command who quickly drafted to the scene to
forestall any damage to government’s property.
The union President, Nurudeen Yusuf,
when approached said the peaceful protest was a citizen’s right as enshrined in
the constitution. He urged the Governor to meet the demand of the students and
reduce the tuition fee, as they would not relent in their struggle and demanded
the immediate release of their colleagues who are in cell.
