Ahmed noted that the leader of the other students in support of the governor identified as Okikiola was leading other cult groups in the state, armed with guns and other dangerous weapons to unleash terror on the protesting students.
The NANS President further alleged that the Amosun-led thugs have injured four of the protesting students with one of the injured students at the verge of death as at press time. He then called on officers of the Police, Department of State Security and the military to come to the aid of his members.
It was recalled that over 1000 students of the Olabisi Onabanjo University in Ogun State Thursday afternoon took to Oke Mosan to protest against a hike in its tuition fee to N176,000 by the Ogun State government.
However, in a terse statement made available to this newspaper, the institution's NANS president alleged that Governor Ibikunle Amosun had in a bid to neutralize their planned protest, tasked one of his aides to mobilize some students of the state-owned Mashod Abiola Polytechnic who are to be paid the sum of N500.00 each, for a thank you solidarity march regarding the new fee regime in the state.
It would be recalled that just yesterday, the Ogun State governor approved an across-the-board reduction in the tuition fees of all tertiary institutions owned by the state.
According to the new arrangement, medical students of the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), who had been paying N301,610 would now pay as low as N176,596, 41.4 per cent reduction, while students of the Faculty of Arts would be paying N81,112 instead of the current fee of N126,540, which is a 35.9 per cent reduction.
