BREAKING NEWS: Presidency convoy ‘shoots at’ protesting OAU students

Tensions were high between a presidential convoy and hundreds of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) protesting students on in the morning of May 22, 2014, Thursday. 

It has been gathered that participants of #OAUsaysNO rally blocked the 6-vehicle convoy, led by a bullet-proof Toyota SUV, in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

The leading vehicle, plate number ‘Presidency’ FG902-B02, attempted to clear the way for other cars through the crowd of protestors, who were voting against drastic increase of fees by the management of the institution. The rates have been increased from N17,000 to about N100,000.
Security personnel have fired several shots in an attempt to disperse the raging students.
The witnesses informed PremiumTimes via phone that two students have been wounded as the result of “sporadic” shots fired.
