Ogun: Protest Over Abduction Of FUNAAB Student

The students of the Federal University of Agriculture (FUNAAB), Abeokuta, on Monday, took to the streets to protest the kidnap of their colleague, Olayinka Toyinbo, in Odeda, Ogun State.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the placard-carrying students took their protest to the Ogun State secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Abeokuta.

The inscriptions on the placards included, “Free our student now”; “I am a student not a prey for kidnappers”, among others.

Speaking to newsmen, Michael Oloyede, President of FUNAAB Students’ Union, appealed to both the federal and state government to ensure speedy rescue of the abducted student.

Oloyede called on the government to do more in securing the lives and property of citizens by providing necessary facilities that would make their job of security agents easier.

“We are appealing to the government and security agencies to ensure the student is released within 72 hours, or we will shut down the state with another protest.

“The federal and state government should provide more facilities and equipment for security agencies,” he said.
