Students of Abraham Adesanya polytechnic Ijebu igbo, Ogun State, have cried out foul of a fellow student identified as Lesi Folashade who was battered by soldiers (OPMESA) allegedly hired by the Rector of the institution, Prof. Jumoke Bilesanmi-Awoderu.

According to an eye witness account, this happened yesterday on the insistence of Folashade to write her first semester exams having paid her complete school fees of sixty one thousand five hundred naira.

Some students of the institution who spoke on anonymous bases disclosed that it all started when a part of the CISCO office in the institution got burnt in last month which resulted to the suspension of the examination and closure of the school for the month of March for students to resume the suspended exam on the 11th of April.

On resumption, students were mandated to pay damages of 10,000 naira which was later reviewed to 5000 naira on the intervention of the SUG. The management however insisted that students will not be allowed to write the exam without payment of 5,000 naira damages.

The rush by students to meet up with the Friday 15h April deadline set by the school and the limited admin staff available for the exercise made a number of students unable to pay up. According to some affected students, they were also on campus last Saturday but were disallowed, hoping that they will be able to make payment on Monday morning.

Folashade, married, who fell into this category of students was in school with her ATM card on the examination day, Monday, but was denied entry alongside hundreds of other final year students.

The refusal of the affected students to leave the school entrance gate warranted the security men to rough-handle Folashade and other students who could not make the payment in due time.

Despite several injuries inflicted on her with metal wipes, the soldiers refused to release her. They also denied her medical attention and threatened to charge her to court instead.

There are speculations from eye witness that the convulsive bleeding coming from her undies may be an indication of a miscarriage.

Insiders however disclosed that having informed the Rector of the situation, she was indifferent about it.

Folashade was later deceived into entering a vehicle with the pretense of taking her for treatment, was led by the Director of Student Affairs, Miss Jokotagba to Topan Polic Station and was detained for almost eight hours with bleedings from her injuries unattended to.

As at the time of compiling this report Folashade was bleeding and pleading with men of OPIMESA to release her in order to attend to her health.

Students, concerned individuals and sympathizers have called on the government and relevant human right advocacy groups to intervene and ensure that justice prevails.
