Students of Bowen University, Iwo, Osun State took matters into
their hands as they protested the reign of current VC, Matthew Ojo.
The students, who
had had enough of Ojo’s Nazi-like regime, started a riot at about 9pm on
Wednesday night, destroying cars, street lights, shops, windows and even burnt
part of some buildings.
According to a
source at the University, Ojo had brought in rules that were not favorable to
student life in the least.
The VC had
reportedly denied the students basic amenities, giving them food and light only
in restricted periods.
“You can’t eat
except at stipulated hours,” the source said. “You fill statement forms if
you’re caught eating. No break time in between classes to support the food
timetable though. So if your class falls during the eating period, you’re not
eating.”
He also infringed on
their health rights, denying students access to healthcare after 6pm.
With all these, it’s
easy to see why the students would have been forced to carry out their actions.

the mayhem below.
