PUNCHng have successfully posted a false news about yesterday’s protest in The Federal University Of Agriculture Of Abeokuta (FUNAAB), they have painted us students in such a way that the social media have started seeing us as the guilty ones whereas, the entire management of the school and the armed forces of Abeokuta are the bad and corrupt ones.

PUNCH as well as those that fed them with fake news about yesterday’s protest have also successfully shown that they are gullible and stupid while searching for what to post about the protest. I am a proud student of the institution and was affected by actions of the management of the school and the Eleweran police division.

Am not gonna say much but i will try my best to shed more light to the quantum of lies posted by PUNCHng as well as the social media about the protest.

Read on…

While i witnessed the protest, several vehicles were not burnt, Funaabites are not the violent type, only the V.C’s church bus and a small car were burnt as far as i know and believe.

No student was cut with matchet during the protest, this was done by the armed robbers during the robbery attack at about 1:00am that morning… Instead, a student who was simply standing without posing any form of threat was shot by a policeman – Thank God he survived.

The PUNCH correspondent who saw no fewer than seven vehicles burnt should visit the eye clinic, this is a very big lie. Only tyres, some woods as well as the two vehicles as i stated in number 1 were burnt.

They even said “A police post at Osiele and another vehicle parked on the premises, as well as six other vehicles along the Abeokuta-Ibadan Road were set ablaze.” Funaabites have no business with Osiele, Students of the Osiele college of education also staged their own protest and everything done there were only done by the students of the college of education and not FUNAAB. It’s their territory!

The 100-level student of Forestry and Wildlife, identified as Taiwo Abisoye was shot at by the police and not hit by any tear gas canister.[/b]


The protest was a peaceful just as it was done in the first semester for the same reasons, but it all changed when the so-called riot policemen arrived and turned it to world war IV. Various news companies and some other blogs have been carrying fake news, painting us as bad children, not a single one of them approached my or any other affected funaabite to hear their own side of the story. I clap for them with a big hand.

We are not gonna stop until proper solution is provided, how much do we have as students that some thief of lazy group of foolish individuals will decide to visit us at night to forcefully collect them from our possession. We won’t wait until they start killing us one by one neither are we going to wait until they start raping our girls.

We will stand only for justice which must be served, whether the government and management likes it or not.

I rep FUNAAB

FUNAAB Declares Mid-Semester Break

The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), has declared a 7-day mid-semester break for the Second Semester, 2015/2016 Academic Session with effect from Thursday, August 18, 2016. This is to enable the university to put additional welfare and security arrangements in place, to further support the initiatives of the Federal and State Governments, towards the protection of lives and properties of its citizens, particularly, members of staff and students of the university.

As part of the efforts towards ensuring a safe haven for members of the University community, amidst the security challenges presently facing some parts of our country, Nigeria, FUNAAB has partnered with the Ogun State Commissioner of Police and the Director, State Security Service (SSS), to uphold safety of lives and property of staff and students living within the school environs, following Armed Robbery reports received by students residing in Isolu, a community situated close to the University, which is highly populated by staff and students of FUNAAB.

To this end, the University’s Security Team, in collaboration with the Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) from Odeda and Obantoko areas, both in Abeokuta, Ogun State, often take turns, on a daily basis, to patrol the University environs at night. The University Management has also encouraged the various communities to embrace community policing and vigilante services, to support the efforts of the Police and the SSS.

It is also important to note that students are properly scrutinized during the University’s screening exercise after the Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, to pro-actively ensure that candidates with questionable characters are not admitted into the University. Students have also been cautioned to live a low profile life, avoid attracting unnecessary attention to themselves, be alert, be vigilant about happenings in their surroundings and be free to contact the University’s Chief Security Officer (CSO), in case they notice any strange movement or occurrence around their vicinities.

Towards ensuring that all students reside within the University campus, provision of accommodation is also on the the front-burner of the University. Aside the existing campus hostels which the University had been able to build within its limited resources. FUNAAB has also been able to get well-meaning Nigerians; the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), through its Special Intervention Fund; private organisations; and generous individuals to build additional hostels within the University, which are currently at various stages of completion.

Additionally, the University Management has directed that all lectures do not exceed 6pm daily, to allow students get to their homes before dark, while the University transportation services is always available to convey students, who reside outside the campus, close to their destinations.

Meanwhile, contrary to reports being circulated by certain media, it is pertinent to state that the University did not lose anyone during the recent unrest by students of the University. Rather, the only student, who was hurt when he engaged a Police Officer in a scuffle, is currently receiving attention at the University College Hospital, Ibadan.

Attention has also been drawn to reports on the invitation extended to some Principal Officers of the University by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). As public officers as well as responsible and law abiding citizens, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olusola Oyewole and the Bursar, Mr. Moses Ilesanmi have since honored the invitation by the anti-graft agency, to make clarifications on issues bordering on the administration of the University.

The University Management assures that the situation is under control, as normal administrative activities continue unabatedly.
