Confusion enveloped the Bowen University, Iwo in Osun State on Wednesday night as students of the varsity staged a protest against the new timetable released by the university management.
NigerianEye gathered that there was violent protest at Bowen University Iwo in Osun State last night.
The riot was over what they say is lack of basic amenities like water and light as well as what they term ‘unnecessary rules & regulations’ being made by school management, plus plans to increase their school fees.
The students destroyed school property, vehicles and vandalized their chaplain’s home. While the students were on rampage, the school security personnel fled but the police was eventually called into calm things down.
“Bowenites live by rules, sleep by rules, and eat by rules, but not anymore” one student said on social media.
It was gathered that peace returned to the campus on Thursday morning but no lecture took place as the atmosphere was still tense.
The Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mr. Aderoju could not be reached as of the time of filing this report.

concerning the rules and regulations, the students knew from onset what they are getting into so complain about rules is out of place; I will implore the school to make all basic amenities available in the school, the students should not be shortchanged. any act that will provoke the students should always be avoided.
