Protesters took to the gates of the University of Ibadan in Oyo State on Monday morning to express their dissatisfaction with the country’s ongoing economic chaos.
Community members blocked the institution’s gate, preventing vehicular movement and other activities.
A student, who did not want her name used, told reporters that soldiers and Operation Burst officers had arrived at the scene as of the time of filing this report.
Mrs Adejoke Akinpelu, the university’s Communication Officer, said that the protesters had been dispersed by security personnel.
She said, “The U.I Chief Security Officer told me that it was some miscreants in the community who gathered themselves together at the gate this morning, causing problems. Our students are sitting for their exams so they are not part of them. I was also told the security personnels who came have dispersed them.”
