The Oluomo of Ijebu-Igbo, High Chief Ismail Abiodun Lawal Abinugbola, has reportedly intervened in the alleged police assault involving the President of the Students’ Union Government (SUG) of Abraham Adesanya Polytechnic, Ijebu-Igbo, Comrade Kuforiji Gilbert Agbolade.

Speaking on the incident, the Oluomo stated that he met the protesting students around the Sawmill area while on his way to the office, where the road had already been barricaded by the protesters.

“I stepped down to address the AAPoly Student Union President, Comrade Kuforiji Gilbert Agbolade, and immediately placed a call to the Area Commander to notify him of the situation. He assured me that prompt action would be taken,” he said.

According to him, the officer allegedly involved in the assault was a Mobile Police officer and not an officer attached to the Ijebu North Area Command.

Shortly afterwards, the road was cleared for vehicular movement, while the protesting students proceeded to the Area Command.

The Oluomo further disclosed that he received a call from the National Public Relations Officer of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), who informed him that the officer involved had been arrested.

He added that the Area Commander also promised to present the officer on Tuesday at Abraham Adesanya Polytechnic as part of efforts to address the matter and restore calm.
