Several were hurt as students of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) embarked on a protest today, a protest that saw the brutality of the police force emerge.
According to reports, the student are protesting due to the delay of their semester examination, and asking for immediate solution to the impasse on the inability of the students to have the examination.
“We’re supposed to have written our examination on September 18 but ASUP MAPOLY used that as a negotiation tool with Ogun State Government. .
.
As it is today, for the past three months, we have not been able to write the examination and there is no green light if we are going to write the examination, this year,” one of the students said. .
There has been an issue between the state government and members of the Academic Staff Union Polytechnics (ASUP) of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic chapter, an issue which led to the end of academic activities in the institution for three months. .
The issue is reportedly due to the relocation of the institution to Ipokia in Ogun State and it has remained unsolved.
