At about 3pm yesterday, there was an accident involving an
okada man,who inflicted serious injury on a lady who is
presently at the Ekiti state teaching hospital. The highlight
of the neglect or non-challant attitude of the okada man
leaving the lady in this critical state,made a concerned
senator,senator Hardvize to raise his voice against this
inhuman treatment towards students
.
This led to a fracas at satellite gate of the University
as,Okada men violently attacked the SUG president, and a
senator at EKSU student union level known as senator
Hardvize.
.
Further on the scene,the deputy CSO of EKSU, forwarded a
call to the SUG excos,to go settle things amicably in the
iworoko police station.At the meeting the DPO stressed the
need for peace and unity among the okada riders and the
student,much to the presence of aruson led team and the
excos of the okada riders.while still at the meeting, the SUG
EXCOS were called upon that the hooliganism of the okada
men has taken a new dimension, as okada men inflicted
wounds on different individuals at sporadic intervals.
.
This prompted the Aruson led team to leave the police
station and call the paramilitary wing (cadet corps) of the
university, to ensure the safety of Nigerian student.
On arrival at osekita junction to observe and proffer solution
to the ugly scene, the SUG excos received battering and
sustained grievous injuries,much to the presence of the so
called gallant men of the police force.As they choose to be
spectators , rather than a competitors for peace.
.
The number one citizen of the university, talking in person of
student union president (Aruson)was seriously dealt
with,together with his aides . Later on, the police men who
stood to watch, started firing tear gas on EKSUITE, which
caused some of the students to seek for safety,through
escape,causing students panic-injuries,and health status of
asthmatic patients in their various rooms was affected.
.
This fateful morning at exactly 5.00am when most of the
students were sleeping peacefully in their room,they were
forced to wake up to deafening sounds of sirens blast of the
Police force,as the students later gathered this morning for a
peaceful protest of "operation no okada" a vibrant comrade
named "Megapinx" was attacked.He sustained a head
injury,from a policeman who hit him with a gun on his head.
Few hours after,policemen launched teargas at will on
students at various entry point into the university as student

comfort zone;even when the gate was locked as police men
jumped fences into hostel compounds if Friendlies
hostel,F&F hostel among others to arrest students and
harass them against their fundamental human right.
.
We hereby give a clarion and patriotic call to the state and
federal government,to come to the rescue of students of
Ekiti state university as we are sons and daughters of this
land, the future stakeholders of our nation to become a
nation of pride in the 21st century.
