GUN SHOT AT PROTESTING STUDENTS...won fe pa wa
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Ladoke Akinttola University of Technology(LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, has been undergoing some unrest for some time now. This was due to the inhumane increase in the tuition fee of the students from six thousand five hundred naira to a whooping sixty thosand naira. This however led the students representative to visit the co-owners of the instituion.

Their visit to the Executive Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, two days ago did not yield good fruit as the Governor was quoted to have said that those that cannot afford it should leave since it is not compulsory for average family to go to school. This led to their going to the office of the Oyo State Governor, Otunba (Dr.) Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala yesterday, 27th November, 2007. They `were however scared away with gunshots while trying to force their way into the premises. Special Adviser to the Governor on public matters, Pince Dotun Oyelade, confirmed it himself that gunshots were fired but no one was injured. Information however has it that a student was shot.

The heart-rending part of the story however, ies the use of firearms rather than Tear Gas, to dissolve the students protests. The same was what happened on Thursday, 22nd of November, 2007, at the premises of the school, when the students started their protest. The Alaafin of Oyo and the Special Adviser to oyo State government, Chief Layiwola Olakojo, were at the school for a programme, when the students started their peaceful protest and obstructed the road with one of their buses.

It however took the firing of gunshots into the air before this people felt the students could allow them move.

Very soon, i know that shooting at the students would be the next way to dissolve their bound.

We urge the infant ministry of youth to raise for our course and other NGOs. The loive and course of youths look insignificants to these nits.

Related to country: Nigeria


FINALLY, the tussle at the Nigeria House of Representative was over yesterday after, the formal speaker, Honable Olubunmi Etteh and her deputy resigned.

The house seems to be ngetting its orderliness back as the principal officers were sacked and new speaker and deputy elected .

Nigerians are just waiting and watching to see the next scene of suprise in this first democratically transitioned government.
