IN PICTURES: OOU students on massive protest, destroy property



Hunfreds of students of the Olabisi Onabanjo University, OOU, on Friday protested in Ogun state, demanding a reduction in their school fees. 

The students barricaded the Presidential boulevard, the route leading to the office of Governor Ibikunle Amosun, saying they will not leave until the governor, who is said to be on his way to his office, addresses them.

The students were reportedly shot at and tear-gassed by soldiers as they marched to the Governors office. After being tear-gassed, angry students started destroying public property. They had initially embarked on a peaceful protest, but turned violent after the teargas, NigerianEye learnt



The aggrieved students  demanded a further reduction in their school fees days after Governor Amosun announced a reduction in school fees and said it would take effect from next academic session.

The students of the state owned school said they were not satisfied with the reduction, as it's still too high and they want the new school fees to take effect from the current academic session.

The protest started on Thursday through Friday.


It can be recalled that students of Lagos State university (LASU) forced the Lagos state government to reduce the school fees few days ago.
