Find a statement from the school's PRO, Olusola Emiola, below
The protest by male students
on campus on Wednesday 14, May 2014 had nothing to do with religion. A
certain man, a non student was apprehended by our security personnel for
trying to bring prohibited items into the school. After much
interrogation, he mentioned the names of the culprits involved. An
official went to the male hostel to get the students mentioned, one of
whom was praying in the hostel. The students involved along with other
students faced with student disciplinary committee cases took advantage
of the interruption of prayers to start the protest.
The university properties worth millions were destroyed and this act was carried out by the male students. The students have been sent home on recess to resume back 2nd of June 2014.
Signed: Public Relations Executive, Olushola Emiola.
Trust the school to add the cost of the damaged properties to them in their school fees.

Trust you to insult authorities as usual without a single sence of responsibilty.
DeleteImagine the press release from a so called university. Sounds like something written by an okada association chairman. The students have been sent
Deletehome on recess to "resume back" 2nd of June 2014.
WTF is resume back? I pity the students of that school.
Maybe subsequent releases from any of d socalled private universities be made to pass through Oby Ekwesili's table for proper vetting so that we can always leave d substances and keep pursueing d shadows of some grammatical or typographical goofments if there is any word like that- sorry I'm not an Englishman and I no go school o!

ReplyDeleteEndtime rampage...~MR EDDY~says so via www.facebook.com/eddywhiz
That is so not true.. Obviously they won't say the truth but why lie and call yourselves Christians... The school depresses people, one almost committed suicide.. It doesn't matter what they tell the media, we know the truth and also what goes on in the school and we want our voice to be heard...
ReplyDeleteBless you for this......
DeleteUp Gunners!!!
ReplyDeleteDestruction of school properties is uncalled for.. Dat is violence .. They shud pay for it
ReplyDelete#Pesty
That wat he would say bt dey wont wanna tell d world d truth. These is y I hate private university. Glorified secondary school
ReplyDeleteBecause of the epileptic academic calendars' of the Nigerian public university, parents send their kids, some individuals sponsor themselves to private universities and some of them may lack a conducive environment for proper learning even with high tutions as considered by the Nigerian standard. TO be specific our institutes need to start training and shaping students with the skills and techniques of piloting a growing economy.
ReplyDeleteWhy attend a private school if u know u wouldn't be able to keep up with their rules. I pity ur parents cos they are definitely going to pay double of whatever was destroyed. Nonsense
ReplyDeleteBut why couldn't they wait for d guy to finish up his prayers before latching on him? Will the police just barge into a church service to arrest a criminal without waiting for the service to be concluded? I think d school authoritiy is culpable here...smacks of some unbridled overzealousness.
ReplyDeleteAnon 4.27... Where is the insult there? Bonario only spoke his mind but u are the one insulting? U don dey beef abi?? Smh. Abeg if u don't have anything better to say just shut up!!

ReplyDeleteTell them oh....
DeleteNothing good come out of violence
ReplyDeleteIts all lies... Dat idiot is lying mehn, d potter slapped d student
ReplyDeleteThe riot was as a result of the obnoxious rules and regulations made by the school authority; rules that are not in the handbook, rules we didn’t sign up for. There was a time up to three hundred students were suspended for a week because they didn’t go to church. Many like my roommates took this as an advantage to leave the school even though they were not suspended. No student complained about this. We know it’s a Christian school, that we have to go to church and we know the penalty if we don’t.
ReplyDeleteBut since 2013, the school has been coming up with unbelievable and senseless rules. It all started with the introduction of flare skirts meanwhile the handbook permits straight skirts. This was very hard for us to take in because we have to spend money buying new skirts. It didn’t stop there. Soon enough, we were told not to wear slippers out of the hostel before six pm, to dress corporately to go to the cafeteria to buy food during week days before six pm, the boys not to wear skinny trousers, girls not to put on many bracelets, students being able to leave school only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, girls not to wear armless under their suit, students not to wear jalamia, girls shouldn’t wear crop flare skirts because the registrar doesn’t like the style, the girls should wear skirts covering their knees or tie wrapper in the hostel and so on and so forth. Earlier on the day of the riot, some boys’ hair wear forcefully cut and then many of them were suspended for two week for not cutting their hair, shaving their beard and for putting on palm slippers.
As if these rules were not bad enough, when students disobey them, instead of the school authority following the usual procedure of asking them to fill demerit form, they were beaten and maltreated. The girls have been slapped on several occasions, insulted and their hair forcefully cut by the hall manager. The boys are usually beaten up by the chief security officer, students’ affair officer and security officers. Our parents and even insulted right in our faces. Recently, a girl was punched on the chest and slapped by the chief security officer. All these got the students angry. We complained but the school didn’t listen to us so we had to force it to. Maybe if it had allowed us to form a students union, the riot and great loss on the part of the school could have been prevented.
