In a dramatic turn of events on Wednesday, Ogun State Deputy Governor, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele, narrowly avoided a potentially violent confrontation as angry students took to the streets of Abeokuta, the state capital, in a protest over rising school fees.
According to a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Information and Strategy, Mr. Kayode Akinmade, the Deputy Governor was en route to the 35 Artillery Brigade Alabama in Abeokuta, where she was scheduled to represent Governor Dapo Abiodun at the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day reception.
However, as her convoy made its way through the bustling streets, it encountered a sea of irate students from the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) armed with sticks and other dangerous projectiles.
The tension quickly escalated as the students, already on edge, realized that the Deputy Governor was among those in the convoy.
Their anger surged as they rushed to halt her passage, attempting to disable the convoy in a fury of chants and movement, despite repeated calls for calm from her security detail and the police officers present.
