The umbrella body of the students of the University of Ibadan has written a letter to the Oyo State Governor, Engr Seyi Makinde, asking him to do something about the spate of insecurity in the Agbowo community where a huge number of the students reside.
The Students’ Union body in a letter signed by its President, Adewole Yinka and General Secretary, Bamidele Taiwo Paul informed the governor that a large number of their colleagues had been victims of attacks, resulting in injuries and deaths.
The students also complained about the lack of street lights and speed breakers on the road in front of the university gate as a result of which they claimed some students are hit by speeding vehicles.
They called on the governor to apologise to all the victims of various attacks and convene an emergency meeting with security agencies in Oyo State.
The Students’ Union body also demanded that speed breakers and traffic lights should be installed in front of the University of Ibadan main gate and other critical areas.
The students threatened to embark on a protest if the governor fails to accede to their requests.
