Students of Bowen University, Iwo, on Wednesday
night went on the rampage while kicking against
the university authorities’ plans to increase tuition
fees.
The students of the private university, owned and
operated by the Nigerian Baptist Convention,
destroyed school property, vehicles and their
chaplain’s residence.
Some of the students also complained of
‘unnecessary rules and regulations’ imposed on
them by the school authorities.
According to a Lazywrita source, the student said
they were watching a champions league football
match when the DSTV subscription expired. The
students got angry, smashed the tv in the
common room, beat up the hostel porters and
then proceeded to start bonfires, damage
vehicles, loot the shopping complex, defaced all
the walls stating that the students were fed up
with the new V.C who is planning to increase the
tuition from 500k to 640k amidst scarcity of
water, no light and infrastructural decay.
While the protest that began Wednesday night
continued Thursday. The students to razed down
buildings, smashed cars and spread mayhem all
over the university campus.
The school security personnel fled while violent
protest was going on but the police later
stepped in and restored order.
