Great Ife SU Shut Down University Of Ibadan by Wunderkind54: 1:13am On Aug 21, 2017 |
Member of the Great Ife
Students’ Union shut the main
entrance of the University of
Ibadan over what was described
as harassment from a member of
the Abefele Security Unit in the
institution. The incident between
both parties took place on
Saturday, 19th August, 2017 at
about 5pm.
In a telephone conversation with
the President of the Great Ife
Students’ Union, Mr. Oyekan
Ibukun Edward on Sunday, he
explained that members of the
Ife Union wanted to gain access
into the environs of the
University of Ibadan but were
faced with victimization by
members of the security unit. He
said that at their point of entry,
there was a car that was in
front but the car was being over
delayed, thus, they suggested
that the security members allow
the car being checked to park
properly while another member of
security pass the queue for other
vehicles to enter. However, he
added that the recommendation
was not only rejected but also
came with an indirect threat by
a security man, telling them to
turn back for they will not be
allowed access into the
institution.
Mr. Oyekan, popularly referred
to as Dr. IBK mentioned that
when it finally got to their
turn, the security officer
deliberately delayed them, and
He (Dr. IBK) advised that they
should be allowed to park
properly so that others can gain
entry, but according to him, the
security officer believed that
they wanted to force their way
in, leading him to burst their
rare tyre.
While narrating the incident, he
said that “the security people
were trying to victimize us. We
were about to enter UI gate and
a car was standing in front of
us, so they were actually over
delaying the car for like 10
minutes. I was sitting in front
and I told the security guy that
you guys should be fast and he
said if you can’t wait, you
better go back.”
“When it got to our turn, he
was trying to delay us and we
told him to let us park, As we
were about to park, he thought
we wanted to drive in forcefully
so he busted our rare tyre, then
we came out and changed it for
all of them that they have to
repair that tyre or else we are
going to shut down the
University of Ibadan.
“They thought we were joking.
Then we shut down the
University. We made sure that
there was no movement from
inside to outside campus. Then
the Chief security officer of the
University called us and begged
us that we should just calm
down and give them like 20
minutes that they are going to
fix our tyre, so when they
promised us that, we opened the
gate then we allowed the
movement to flow”, he said.
Discussing the rationale for the
visit to the institution, Dr. IBK
explained that members of the
Great Ife Union went for a
party of one of their ex-union
members in Ibadan. “So we felt
like it has been a while since we
entered UI, so we just wanted
to see some things around that
was all”, he said.
In a phone conversation with the
Chief Security Officer of the
University, Mr. Akindayomi, he
authenticated the incident but
explained that members of the
Ife Union breached security
protocol; however he expressed
delight at the rate at which his
office was able to handle the
situation.
“The students from Ife breached
security protocol and they had
an encounter with the University
but the matter was promptly
settled by the office of the CSO
and the students were happier
when they were leaving. There
was no problem”, he said.
It should be remembered that
the Students’ Union of the
University of Ibadan was
suspended about three months
ago after members embarked on a
peaceful protest on May 29,
2017 over demands for ID cards
and better welfare of students
on campus. Till date, the Union
has not been reinstated. Attempt
to reach the President of the
suspended Students’ Union,
University of Ibadan, Mr. Ojo
Aderemi, was futile as his phone
was switched off.
It was also gathered that every
member of the Students’
Executive Council as well as
members of the Students’
Representatives Council have
been given query letters by the
University management, which is
the first step to getting a
reprimand, suspension or
expulsion from the University at
the level of the Students’
Disciplinary Committee. |
