The Vice Chancellor Of Obafemi Awolowo University, Prof. Eyitope Ogunbodede has expressed fear that the five students currently languishing in Kosere prison might retaliate by causing crisis on campus once they were released from the prison.
The VC made this known while reacting to the case of the five OAU students remanded in prison for alleged assault of Moremi Hall Warden after they failed to meet their bail conditions of grade 11 civil servant.
Ogunbodede said the students were arraigned by the police and not the university.
He added that the male students were found at Moremi hall, a female hostel in the morning around 10am of which they should not be there, let alone allegedly assaulting the hall warden.
He further added that the university was trying to renovate hostels but the students opposed it.
The school had evicted some students from their hostels on campus before the students protested the action.
But the VC described the students as being irresponsible.
He said, “The school would not produce students who are not ready to obey the laws of the institution. We did not arrest them but the Police did and they should be accountable for themselves while the school management would be accountable for everybody but as the management we are only accountable to responsible students,” he said.
“If they are remorseful we would make sure they are released but we don’t want a situation whereby they would be released, they will now start beating up everybody and cause chaos in the school environment because they have done it before,” he added.
