Presidential Convoy Shoots Protesting OAU Students

Students of the Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-Ife, Osun State, were shot at on Thursday by a Presidential convoy. The students were protesting a recent hike in their tuition fee by the school management.

The school fee, as Aproko247 learnt, was increased from about N17,000 to over N100,000.

The convoy, led by a Toyota bullet proof SUV with the inscription ‘Presidency’ and with the registration number, FG902-B02, was attempting to drive through the students, but was reportedly resisted. Probably in an effort to scare the demonstrators, security officials attached to the convoy allegedly shot in the air.

Two students reportedly sustained injuries in the incident.

Meanwhile, the angry students have seized the convoy and have vowed not to release occupants of the Presidential convoy.
