Students of the Ladoke Akintola University Of Technology, LAUTECH, in the Ogbomoso area of Oyo State are currently protesting after a police officer allegedly gunned down a student and injured two others.
It was gathered that the unfortunate incident occurred when the police officer, who is yet to be identified, was invited to settle a misunderstanding between two people in the school.
While attempting to settle the matter, the officer reportedly shot sporadically into the air and, in the process, gunned down one student and injured two others.
The incident has triggered a riot in the school as students locked the school gates in protest, demanding justice for the deceased.
When contacted, SP Adewale Osifeso, the Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, told newsmen that he was busy but promised to revert.
