FUOYE students’ protest, my story – Fayemi’s wife
The wife of the Ekiti State governor, Bisi Fayemi has given her own account of her encounter with protesting students of the Federal University, Oye Ekiti on Tuesday.
On September 10th, we were billed to visit three local governments – Moba, Ilejemeje and Oye. The first two stops were just like the ones before – peaceful with no incident. While we were at Ilejemeje, we received a call from our advance security team that students of the Federal University of Oye were protesting a lack of electricity in Oye town. We were told that more information would be provided on the situation.
Half-way through our event, there was a disturbance outside. The FUOYE students had re-grouped and were trying to get into the venue. The security officers prevented this from happening. We finished our program, and by the time we got outside, we found that vehicles from my convoy and those of my guests that were parked outside the venue had been vandalised.
I am scandalized and shocked beyond words to hear that I instructed security officers to shoot at students.
