Pictures: Pandemonium as UI students protest epileptic power supply

By Nnamdi Ojiego
Pandemonium this morning erupted at the Nigeria’s premier university – the University of Ibadan, as students took to the streets within the university to register their grievances and dissatisfaction over the epileptic power supply both from the PHCN and the university maintenance section.

The protest led by the newly inducted Students’ Union Executives started around 7am resulting to the closure of the institution’s main gate and lecture halls.

The protesters also barricaded  the Sango-Ojoo road opposite the varsity main gate.

Motorists and other road users had to take alternative routes along Agbowo and Bodija road to their different destinations.

Meanwhile, anti-riot policemen and soldiers have been deployed outside the varsity main gate and on the Sango-Ojoo road to forestall any breakdown of law and order.
