Our attention has been drawn to the continued robbery, bullying and
many other wicked acts perpetrated by the students of the Foreign Links
Campus, Moro on the Obafemi Awolowo University Predegree Students.
This is not the first time we are experiencing this and it is quite unfortunate it has repeated itself again this year.
An incident happened around 7pm yesterday evening when two hostel mates
(GENESIS Hostel) went down the lane of the street that leads to Nifemak
Hostel to buy stuffs. Suddenly, three students of the Foreign Links
Campus attacked them and demanded for their phones, it was their refusal
to drop their phones that caused the predites been beaten blue black!
Fortunately for them, one of the Pre-Degree students ran to the hostel
to call for help. We learnt that the hostel matron told them not to go
there that she will rather go herself to sort things out which the
students obliged to. Surprisingly, she went down there and came back
with the OAU predite seriously stabbed on the neck.
We want to state here that this act is totally unaccepted and it is
capable of unleashing trouble in the community if not properly checked.
We are using this medium to plead with the management of the Foreign
links campus to please call their students to order and also punish any
student found guilty of this act. We are also calling on the management
of the Centre for Distance Learning, OAU and the Security Agencies there
to kindly help us investigate this matter and ensure this act does not
repeat itself anymore. We all have the Right to Life, Movement and
Association. Any attempt to terminate these is criminal and
