Two students of D.S. Adegbenro ICT Polytechnic, Itori, Ogun State, have been kidnapped and the student community is thrown into confusion.
While staging a protest on Wednesday, the students said they were angry because the police refused to respond to their distress calls, noting that the attack lasted about four hours unhindered.
A student said, “The gunmen attacked a hostel at Afowowa and operated for almost four hours. They made away with laptops and other belongings of our colleagues. We called the police but there was no response. Later, the police said their vehicle was not in good condition.
“When they finally arrived, they said the students should lead in facing the gunmen. One of the students was shot in the leg and others were badly injured. That is why we have taken to the streets to protest.”
The students, who earlier marched to the police station, barricaded the main road linking Abeokuta with Sango-Ota and Lagos thereby causing heavy traffic.
When contacted, the Ogun State police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said he was aware of the protest.
