One of suspended students of the Africa's most beautiful campus, Sanyaolu Oluwajuwon a.k.a Comrade Juwon has dragged the management of Obafemi Awolowo University to the Law Court over what he felt as unjustifiable and illegal indefinite suspension of his studentship.

Comrade Juwon had earlier on the 16th September, 2014 filed a suit at the Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, the capital of The State of Osun challenging his suspension. The Court which sat today for the first time on the suit could not do much as the case was adjourned till November 13, 2014. This was based on the objection raised by the Defense Counsels that their client jut got the writ of summon yesterday.

Apart from the Students' Union leaders of the citadel who are currently on probation, eight students including Comrade Juwon were suspended immediately after the students' struggle against the obnoxious hike in school fees on the basis ranging from the allegation of "Abduction" of a certain Angels who was the returning Electoral Officer for the Union Elective offices last year to failure to appear before the Investigative Panel that investigated the matters concerning the school fees increment protest.

Other students suspended by the management include Olusoji Benjamin (Mandela), Ibirogba Samuel (Sammy), Abimbola Abiodun (Anchor), Olubanji Oluwole (Engels), Adabale Olamide (Olamide), Ademuwagun Johnson(Johnson), Pete Obasa (Chocomilo). Also, Olawale Ogunruku, who has been suspended since 2011 as a result of his action during the acceptance fee increment by the Faborode-led administration remains suspended.

Just immediately after the case adjournment, men of the Nigerian Police Force arrested the Students' Union president, Ibikunle Isaac Motunrayo and the Secretary General of the Union, Shittu Olatayo and other students and detained them at the Police Headquarters in Oshogbo for no obvious reasons. They were later released hours later following the intervention of some other persons. Speaking after his release, Ibikunle stated that "we remain undaunted in the struggle to reinstate the Suspended 9".

A call also put to the Police headquarters in Oshogbo to ascertain why they were detained proved abortive as at the time of writing this report.

Not even when it looks like victimization.

E tun ti bere.
If you remember, I engaged you Davo93 on your ill-advised approach to the recent aluta, but noooo, you knew better . You guys are just too smart for your own good. Has everything I warned you about in our brief discussion happened or not

And you know what pains me the most: the really poor students for whom you should have been fighting are now struggling on their own. While you, Davo probably paid your fees a long time ago, do you know that I still had to help a student with his fees just this last week?? I daresay I've personally helped far more students than you ended up doing with you silly aluta, never mind the fact you got a few months of their (your) lives wasted in the process.

"Scientific aluta with maturity" indeed. You guys need to either think things through properly, or shut up and face your studies. Stop giving students unionism a bad name.

Good day sir! It looks like you are having a wrong picture of whom you are engaging. I did not coordinate the Aluta(not a leading member of any of the Students' Union organ), however, as a conscious Great Ife student, I have my reservations about all that transpired before, during and after the aluta period which I may not be interested in divulging here at the moment. I am a Campus Journalist, by the virtue of this, I have the privilege to put up news items of things that happen including the current suit filed by Juwon against the management.

Sir, I am glad you are one of the not many among your colleagues that are ready to hear the plight of indigent students and ready to assist them. Mucha Gracias!

Okay o, borda Davo, I hear you.
I know that as a journalist, you're supposed to report the news and not influence it. However - since you're a Great Ife student - may I suggest you guys try to talk to your SUG? They don't have to follow a script that's been used with minimal success for so many years. I believe they should give more room for input from the so-called "eficos". Otherwise, "aluta Ife o ni yato si ti LASU"* no matter what they sing to the contrary.

*sorry to my friends from LASU. I'm not hating on your fine school. That's just how our students sing it.

I perfectly understand you sir. It is just unfortunate that things turned out the way it went the other time. The Ibikunle (Students' Union President) I have been studying and observing since he assumed office is someone who arguably does not like the confrontation style of agitation. Some other factors led to the protest that eventually led to the shut down of the school which I was not able to discuss with you the other time.

The good thing now is that we are back in school but some students have been rusticated, these ones need to be 'forgiven' and allowed to continue with the rest of us on campus.
