Police Take Over Ekiti Federal Varsity As Protest Turns Violent

The vice chancellor of the Federal
University, Oye Ekiti, Prof. Kayode
Soremekun, has said that the unruly
behaviour of the protesting workers of the
institution could be responsible for the
heavy deployment of policemen on the
campus since Tuesday . He said the rampaging staff, in the course
of the protest which they had begun last
Monday, had paralysed all activities on the
campus and inflicted bodily injuries on
some academic staff for not joining the
strike in solidarity, which forced the Police
Commissioner, Mr Wilson Inalegwu to
order security beef up to ensure protection
of lives and property.
