Police Release Detained UNILAG Students

Adeyeye’s arrest today follows his rustication over a critical
article he posted to his Facebook wall about on the poor
handling of management affairs in the institution under
headship of its current Vice Chancellor, Prof. Rahman Bello.
Mr. adeyeye was arrested by the campus security men on
Wednesday and taken to its " Alpha Base" a temporary
detention centre operated by the UNILAG campus security
unit.
Adeyeye was cornered and arrested alongside three others;
Tomi Aina, Lateef Olawale, and another student only as
"Olufela."
Saharareporters learned that the campus security men were
acting upon a tip-off that Adeyeye was attending a meeting
of students activists concerned about the poor state of
management of campuses and victimization of student
activists across the country. The meeting was aimed at
mobilizing students against a clampdown on student
activists.
An eye witness said Adeyeye was exchanging phone
numbers with some students who saw him at the University
gate when the campus security men, who apparently had
been trailing him approached him and three others before
arresting them.
The arrested students have now been transferred to Sabo
Police Station in Yaba area of Lagos.
Sources said they were held overnight at the Alpha Base
detention center on campus.
The student source also hinted that UNILAG authorities
picked Adeyeye for detention in order to destabilize an
ongoing plan by student activists across the country to hold
a massive protest at UNILAG’s gate on October 1st against
the victimization of students in Nigeria.
