A part of Ikere-Ekiti community, in Ekiti State was yesterday taken over by armed security personnel following a protest by students of the College of Education Ikere-Ekiti over outrageous tuition fees introduced by the management of the institution.

Carrying placards of various inscriptions, the students brought commercial activities in the second largest town in the state to a halt.

They called on the state governor, Kayode Fayemi to urgently relieve the College’s Provost, Titilayo Ogunmola of her appointment for allegedly disobeying his directive that students would not pay outrageous fees during his tenure.
