The Ogun Police Command on Monday arrested 10 students of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, for rioting.
Mr Mohammad Abdulkadri, the Assistant Police Commissioner in charge of Operations, confirmed the arrest, saying two buses were also seized from the rioting students.Abdulkadril, however, said no life was lost during the protest as being claimed by the students.
The students had staged a protest against the university’s decision not to allow unregistered students participate in the Harmattan examination.The students blocked the entrance into the university with two Students’ Union Government (SUG) buses to prevent staff from gaining entrance.The second semester examination expected to commence on Monday was immediately suspended as a result of the incident.
A government statement on Sunday had warned students, who had not completed the registration formalities or fully paid their school fees, to stay away from the university’s premises during the examination.
