I didn’t instruct policemen to shoot FUOYE students-Erelu Fayemi
Wife of Ekiti Governor, Erelu Bisi Fayemi, has denied she instructed security details attached to her to shoot protesting students of the Federal University Oye Ekiti on Tuesday.
According to her: “ Yesterday, September 10th 2019, there was a crisis at Oye town in Oye Local Government, Ekiti State while I was on an empowerment and advocacy tour to engage with women across the State. The tour commenced on Monday September 9th, with visits to two local governments which were hugely successful and peaceful.
“There was no sign of any trouble. We proceeded to the venue of my town hall meeting at the civic center with women in Oye Local Government. “As we were driving out of Oye town, we encountered at least two road blocks that the students had mounted to prevent the movement of vehicles. I could see students/thugs throwing stones and large sticks at us as we drove by.
“I am scandalized and shocked beyond words to hear that I instructed security officers to shoot at students.
