The University authorities released a notice this morning asking all students to vacate the school premises. As a result of this notice, all school activities have been suspended till further notice.
The riot broke out at Bowen University Iwo in Osun State last night. According to
some students, the riot was over what they say is lack of basic amenities
like water and light as well as what they term 'unnecessary rules & regulations'
being made by school management, plus plans to increase their school fees.
The boys destroyed school property, vehicles and vandalized their chaplain's home. While the students were on rampage, the school security personnel fled but the police was eventually called in to calm things down
One student said:
"Bowenites live by rules, sleep by rules, and eat by rules, but not anymore"
Bowen University is a private university owned and operated by the Nigerian Baptist Convention.
