There
was riot at Bowen University Iwo in Osun State last night. According to a source, the riot was over
what they say is lack of basic amenities like water and light as well as what
the students termed 'unnecessary rules & regulations' being laid upon them by school
management, plus plans to increase their school fees.
The
students destroyed school property, vehicles and vandalized their chaplain's home.
While the students were on rampage, the school security personnel fled but the
police was eventually called in to calm things down.
"Bowenites
live by rules, sleep by rules, and eat by rules, but not anymore" a
student of the university said.
Bowen
University is a private university owned and operated by the Nigerian Baptist
Convention.
