ASUU Strike: Moment Soldiers Were Sent Away By Protesting OAU Students (Video)

Students at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Osun State who were protesting the ASUU strike resisted attempts by a convoy of the Nigerian Army to disperse them.

The soldiers dispersed the protesting students after taking down their roadblocks, according to the evidence.

According to reports, the soldiers who earlier broke up the barricade the students had erected on the road in the Moro area of Osun State were later confronted by the large group of students who had retreated but gathered in their numbers.

The regrouped students started chanting solidarity songs to resist the soldiers “we no go gree, we no go gree”, and “Go back, No way” to the soldiers who had seemed helpless at the time.

The students of the institution have staged protests on different occasions, mounting road blocks to demand an end to ASUU strike.

“We booed them away from the barricade today,” one of the leaders of the protest and a member of the Students’ Union Parliament, Abraham Omowumi, also known as Ewatee, said.

The Public Relations Officer of the Union, Ogunperi Taofeek, also said:-

“The students of OAU again took to the streets today to protest the lingering ASUU strike.

“About 2:30 pm, some of the barricades mounted were broken by men of the Nigerian Army. However, we resisted them at the last barricade, holding them there until the fixed time for our protest lapsed.”

Ogunperi Taofeek noted that the protest would continue on Monday.

Recall that the military on Tuesday, also dispersed protesting students from different public universities in Ondo state dismantling their road blocks. The ASUU strike started on the 14th of February with no end in sight.
