Hundreds of protesting students of the Obafemi Awolowo
University have held a presidential convoy hostage in Ile-Ife, Osun State. According
to them, the security details of the presidency shot at them, and they held
them hostage. "The security details shot at us. We have held them hostage. We
will not let him go."
The convoy led by a Toyota bullet proof SUV with
‘Presidency’ inscription and registration number, FG902-B02, tried to drive
through the students who were protesting an increase in fees by the university
management. Security details attached to the convoy then shot, perhaps to scare
the protesters, with two of the students reportedly sustaining injuries.
The students were protesting, on the Ife Expressroad, the
increase in their school fees by the university management when the 6-vehicle
convoy arrived. The university management increased the fees from about N17,000
to over N100,000.
It was u clear who the occupants of the presidential convoy
are as some students said the main occupant is a relative to President Goodluck
Jonathan.
Meanwhile, the information has been making rounds on
twitter, and here is few tweets on it. "Minister's aide shoots @ OAU students
at Akinola Junction Ile-Ife." "#eyewitnessreport OAU student shot at @ OUI by a
militant in a Presidency's Jeep." "OAU Students mount Blockade on Federal Road
linking Abuja, Lagos, ile-ife."
