ADO-EKITI— Scores of youths, mainly students, yesterday, staged a protest at Ilupeju Ekiti over the killing of 400 level student of Ekiti State University, Mr. Seyi Fasere.
Fasere was killed in controversial circumstances in February 28, in Oye Ekiti by the police after some armed bandits struck at a first generation bank in the town.
*PROTEST: Youths and students protesting the killing of a student of Ekiti State University in Ilupeju-Ekiti, yesterday.
During the protest, commercial and social activities were paralysed, as the youths sealed off all the public and private schools in the town, and commercial centres for the over eight hours that the protest lasted.
The aggrieved youths, who had trooped out as early 7am, were said to have engaged the police in serious battle, while being tear-gassed, which culminated in a stampede that led to the hospitalisation of one Deji Omoniyi.
During the protest, the youths blocked the Ifaki-Lokoja Highway, thereby disrupting human and vehicular movements along the axis.
