Mayhem in Ila-Orangun as students protest death of 2 colleagues

•Burn palace, LG secretariat

From BAMIGBOLA GBOLAGUNTE, Osogbo

Mayhem broke out in Ila-Orangun, headquarters of Ila Local Government Area of Osun State yesterday as students of the state college of education located in the town staged a bloody protest over the death of two of their colleagues in a ghastly road accident.
The death of the two students who were simply identified as Sodiq and Wale of the Department of Accounting and Arts respectively sparked the breakdown of law and order in the town as students protested the deaths staging violent protest in the town.
During the melee, a part of the palace of the Orangun of Ila-Orangun, Oba Wahab Oyedotun Bibiire, was burnt by the irate students. Other property in the community were also burnt.

 
The aggrieved students also burnt a part of the secretariat of Ila Local Government Area during the protest when their request to see the chairman of the local government was not granted.
Tyres and other inflammable materials were burnt at popular junctions in the town including Igbonibi Junction, Sharp Corner, College Road and other important areas  where students of the college reside.
It was gathered that the two deceased students died in an accident on their way to the campus. The students said the government should be held responsible for the deaths owing to the deplorable condition of the road leading to their campus.

 
Welfare Officer of the Students Union Government (SUG) of the college, Mr. Tanimomo Opeyemi told Daily Sun that, “the two students were on the bike rushing to meet up with early morning lectures when the accident occurred. The accident was as a result of loads of sand poured on the road by the construction company rehabilitating the road.”
He explained that the contractor handling the project had since abandoned it and no effort was made by the state government to call it to order, adding that the students were victims of circumstance.

 
Already, authorities of the institution have closed down the college to prevent further breakdown of law and order.
A statement by the Registrar of the college, Alhaji G. O. Kolawole directed all the students of the college to proceed on mid semester break and vacate the campus immediately in their own interest. The statement added that the date of resumption would be communicated to the students through the media, urging them to remain peaceful and orderly as they vacate the town.

 
Also, the SUG President of the college, Mr. Akindele Rauf ordered the students to vacate the town immediately, saying the leadership of the students union was making frantic efforts to control the situation in the town.

    irespective of your age,
    If you are a student or working
    class

    stuff like one of my gf called it.
    But its not!
    Its purely NETWORKING
    Well lemme break it down

    is a System Of Money
    Making,

    online
    networking business where

    *admission,
    *you earn N1500 for each
    person you invite to register
    under you,and you can make
    N1.5 million monthly ,just by inviting
    1000 people from the whole 36

    * they give loans to start up a
    business or afalling business or

    The member in free trial
    membership cannot invite other
    people

    he or she has to activate his or
    her membership,
    by paying N1,500
    membership activation fee to

    So, that
    the person that invited him/her
    will
    activate his/her membership.
    After
    his/her membership activation,
    then would he/she be able to
    invite other

    for any
    Netcontacts benefits.

    When wud govts that impose so much tax on the general public and students alike, learn to plough back such revenue gotten from the same people that voted them to power for the benefit of the people. Deaths everywhere everyday due to delapidated infranstructures and the authorities feels unconcerned.

    Rubbish.uncivilized,barbaric outrage which is perpetuated in the most archaic manner. Nobody killed them. It just happened,there’re many schools with good roads Where incidence like this still occur.must you upsurge peace to pacify anger? I leave that question to the protesting students to answer.

    Ori bibe koni ogun orififo[head cutting is not remedy 4 headache. Ds is unfair .ACCIDENT is not of anybody it caused by d deased, the SUG President said, ‘they are rushing 4 early hr lecture’ This is very wrong on d parts of d students

  10. Ogundele Idowu October 17, 2012 at 8:26 am - Reply

    We should always ave in mind that cutting off ones head is the solution to the headache.
    What is palace and secretarial ave to do with accident.
    I hope the school closure order will be strictly enforce to avoid further reckless damage of lives and property. Secondly to prevent situation whereby natives will be up against innocent students.
    Lastly, one need to condole family of the dead and which departed students eternal rest.

    The students of this town had been over-pampered and therefore misused the opportunity. How can future leaders behave in such manner. Honestly, I sympathize with the bereaved, but the reaction is hyper. The SUG should be answerable to this.

    I don’t understand how some people think,why some students just like to vomit trouble unreasonably?Can two wrong things make a right?We quite understand that the death of those students is painful which we pray for the affected families to quickly recover from the loss but nevertheless that should not call for violence and destroying of properties, and at times killing innocent life again.Because the consequence still bounds back on the masses again.Please,let think rationally for whatever action we are taking.

    De last time i checked, peaceful demonstration yields no result. So for government to be responsible we have to do things not done before. Yet; we all know voilence n negligence is evil. Who are to be blame? The government or the students?

    This foolishness, why attacking innocent persons and places when they are not the cause of the accident. The students really showed signs of madness and uncivilization. Parents should always teach their children good values and so on.

    I was reading this news hoping to read were the oba of this community or the community at large incurd the wrath of these students that have made them to go outrageous like this but there is nothing like that. Why’re they disturbing the peace of the community and that of the college when nature have only taking its course. This could happen on any road tared or not. This students are just being uncivilized, babaric and stupid.

    Stupid and illiterate students,instead of them to blame the reckless okada rider,they went on rampage,the sand that caused the accident,is it newly dumped or its been there for long.YOU STUPID STUDENTS,YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DESTROY BEFORE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE YOUR PROGRAM IN THAT SCHOOL.NONSENSE!!

    Its so bad for youths that are praying 4 a better Nigeria to enguage in such a crazy act. After the distruction of properties hat improvement did they get spiritually, academically n physically rather the institution has been shot down. Infact these set of student don’t deserve 2 b in school

    this is not only barbaric but also a mundane way of expressing displeasure. Death is the way of all mortals, how and when it will come, we do not know. It is high time students and indeed other individuals began to evolve better ways of expressing grievances other than destroying hard earned properties. Besides, the death of the students doesnot in any way call for any protest. Meanwhile, may their souls rest in peace. Amen.

    stupidity at the gighest order, so people reason from ass, my question to the students is,
    1. is it the traditional ruler that kill or send the car that is involved in the accident?
    2. is it the lg chirman or part of the secteriat that kill the student.
    untill they give answer to the above questions, i strongly advocate for the imposition of the fund for the renovation of the part of the secteriat rebuilding of the palace and retaring of those spots the tyers were burn on the students tuition fee.
    Really, i dont know the diffrence between the so called students and motor park touts.
