The protesting students thus disrupted ongoing semester examinations and paralysed other academic activities on campus.

The protest, it was gathered stemmed from the refusal of the institution’s authorities to allow some of the students sit for exams for allegedly failing to pay certain levies called ‘course form fee of N4,500.’

The rampaging students barricaded some of the adjoining streets, thereby obstructing free flow of traffic along Ilorin General Hospital -saw mill road.

It was gathered that the protest was triggered off when those who have not paid the “course form fees” were sent out of examination hall.

Angered by the development, the students were said to have gained the sympathy of others who vent their angers on the staff leading to break down of law and order.

The angry students were said to be wielding machetes and stones chased out the staff before they took to the streets to express their anger.

The students claimed that the course form levy was introduced last year, adding that students had been complying with the payment.

They argued that defaulters who had paid their school fees are not supposed to be stopped from sitting for their examinations.

When contacted, Provost of the college, Dr Isiaka Opobiyi said that the students who protested were the ones who did not pay their schools

He added that they went on rampage disrupting ongoing semester examinations.

“I see their action as part of youthful exuberance.  We are managing the situation,” Dr Opobiyi added.
