Here is a video of students running in panic across the LAUTECH campus in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, claiming bandits had invaded the school while the author's sister was in class and got injured.

LAUTECH management has officially debunked the claims, confirming no bandit attack took place, the university remains open, and students are continuing their examinations without disruption.

We’re not closing down because of banditry – LAUTECH

The management of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, Ogbomoso, has debunked rumours that the university has been shut down because of the fear that bandits want to invade the institution.

In a statement on Tuesday evening signed by Olalekan Fadeyi on behalf of the Registrar, Mrs Olayinka Balogun, the management of the university called on the public to disregard such claims.

“This is to strongly debunk the rumour making the rounds that the Management of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, has closed down the University for fear of invasion by bandits.

“This is to inform our students, their parents and guardians that there is no immediate reason for management of LAUTECH to close down the University, therefore the University is still in session.

“As a matter of fact, our students are currently writing their examinations and the exercise continues tomorrow.

“Management regrets whatever inconvenience this unfounded rumour may have caused.”

The rumour may not be unconnected to the fact that last Friday’s attacks on some schools in Oriire Local Government Area by bandits took place in locations that are not far from the university town.

Bandits are here to stay, they are friends with tinubu

The sweet go reach everybody

The fear of the notorious bandits

All these killings for power to return to North

Why are they running?

Can't they overpower those Fulani boys

Always reacting and no acting (except wailing on social media).
He warned them, but they told him to rot in jail.

Btw, their agitator and liberator is now an apc politician.

COMRADES are speechless, if I may ask, where is Sunday Igboho? Is he not from Yoruba land or Oyo State? What is he doing about the insecurity ravaging his zone?

Are you sick? Didnt you read from the university that it was a fake news?

I had to call one of my sisters and she was even surprised, as I ask her about it. If you have anyone in Lautech, ask them, they’ll confirm to you..

This is Election period, Government are busy with Election matters.. Bandits can now have a field days..

This is the reason why I hate Nigeria, you use bad things to play too much

Nnamdi Kanu dokwara ha aka na nti, Kama ekwero na anya ufu ebe ndi bu ndi Igbo no ekweghi ha kwuru na ezi okwu.
He warned and warned and warned, if you want know the aftermath of this all, go and listen to his message
Ndi Igbo ha alariri na obodo ekwere ha na nkwa, ihe na emeghi na izu, ga emeriri na onwa

Oga leave talk. Have Sunday igboho said anything about the kidnapping and killings happening in oyo state or has he gone mute.

We are busy with the primaries and the forthcoming presidential election. Let all wailing be put on hold

Gun licensed should be restored. We should be in era of fire for fire, Tinubu truly following Buhari legacy

Universities that used to be the face of youth resistance and revolution are now the bedrock of docility and cowardice, ire oh

They will still vote for APC!

Let's call on Sunday Igboho the APC miscreant to save us

We must learn how to live with them and not become enemies with them because they are going nowhere
Gumi 2025

They'd better call it a drill.

This is a friendly visit according to one kpariolodo from sad west

These are the results of voting an incompetent president into power..it's a pity

PresidentMUGABE:

Who is supporting Tinubu from securing the country?

I laugh when the military claim terrorists are not in every state in Nigeria!

News flash....they are everywhere!
They are only waiting for the right time to strike!

Kwara state used to be very peaceful but today, bandits and terrorists have sacked some people from their communities!

Lagos is only a matter of time!
Maybe when bandits visit a big church or mosque in Lagos state,that's when some revered clergymen will start talking.

PresidentMUGABE:
All these killings for power to return to North

yes because the master strategist is a coward. Na only mouth he get. Just imagine tinubu is the president with and the security aparatus at his finger tips and all these are happening in yoruba land, now tell me what will happen if he is not the president
