After eight of LASU students who were involved in one of
their protests on Tuesday were arraigned before an Ikeja chief magistrate’s
court for alleged breach of public peace by Police, students in their hundreds
yesterday around 3:00pm matched to the governor’s office and barricaded the
entrance with two BRT buses and other vehicles they came with.
They danced, lay their beds on the floor and set up
traditional cooking stove where they cooked beans for themselves and sang
solidarity songs.

Private security men at the entrance quickly locked up the
gate preventing them from entering and alerted police officers attached to Area
F police command who quickly drafted to the scene to forestall any damage to
government’s property.

The union President, Nurudeen Yusuf, when approached said
the peaceful protest was a citizen’s right as enshrined in the constitution. He
urged the Governor to meet the demand of the students and reduce the tuition
fee, as they would not relent in their struggle and demanded the immediate
release of their colleagues who are in cell.
