Some students of Obafemi Awolowo University were on Thursday shot by soldiers. The students were protesting the 322% increment in their fee at Ilesa-Ife high way when they were shot.
According to eyewitnesses, three of the students were shot and injured in several parts of their body with the rubber bullet.
One of the soldiers identified as Idris Ajisesi from his uniform, shot three of the students.
It was gathered that the soldiers were escorts to a presidency convoy. They were led by an ex-militant, who introduced himself as High Chief Okubo Robert.
It was learnt that Robert, who came with a jeep with registration number FG902B02, angered the students when he ordered that troops should be sent to combat the students.
It took the intervention of stranded motorists and travellers before the students, who almost lynched the soldier stopped.
