The management of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State,
has ordered the indefinite suspension of both academic and non-academic activities on the campus.

A statement shared with PREMIUM TIMES on Sunday
by the institution’s spokesman, Adewole Soladoye,
however, gave exemption to the ongoing
examination at the school.

The statement, which was dated June 26 and signed
by the institution’s registrar, Modupe Fawale, said
“all public activities including conferences, seminars
and workshops in the institution and its
environment remain suspended until further notice.”

“The only activity permitted to take place is the
ongoing second semester examinations,” it added.

Reasons for action

The management said in the statement that “the
decision is part of efforts to monitor the security
temperature within the Institution and its
environment,” adding that it is also “part of efforts
to curtail and monitor the continued Covid-19
precautions.”

“By this, all Deans of Faculties, Directors, Heads of
Departments, religious bodies, Students’ Union,
students’ Representative Council, all staff and
members of the public are to kindly abide by this
directive which takes effect from Sunday, 27th of
June, 2021,” it concluded.

Though the school management was vague in its
reasons for the action, the decision may not be
unconnected with the rampaging violence in Ibadan,
the Oyo State capital.

PREMIUM TIMES has consistently reported the raging
violence purportedly spearheaded by some notorious
transporters in the state, which has claimed more
than five lives.

On June 16 mayhem broke out in Iwo Road, a
popular neighbourhood in the city, leading to the
death of a young man who was later identified
simply as Rahmon.

Shop owners in the area had engaged members of
the park management system (PMS) which is led by
a popular thug in the state, Mukaila Lamidi, who is
popularly called Auxiliary.

The state governor, Seyi Makinde, had appointed Mr
Lamidi to manage the public transport parks in the
state following the ban placed on the activities of the
state’s chapter of the national union of road
transport workers (NURTW).

Following Mr Rahmon’s killing, the residents and his
relatives took his body to the government house at
Agodi and demanded to see Mr Makinde.

But a day after the incident, six persons were also
reportedly killed in a gang crisis between youth of
Inalende, Abebi and Oopo areas of the city.

Possible cult attack

Some sources at the school, who do not want to be
quoted to avoid victimisation, have also linked the
management’s decision to possible violent attacks by
cultists.

The sources said it is customary on the campus for
cultists to strike during examinations for various
reasons.

“The fact is that some students who may have been
declared wanted by rival gangs would be expected to
come to school to sit examinations and those looking
for them would show up to carry out their threats.

Another reason is that cultists don’t always want
examinations to hold because they are never
prepared and would always want to use
mercenaries,” one of the sources said.

But the school’s spokesman did not pick his calls
when our reporter tried to seek further clarifications
on the sudden decision taken by the school.
