.#FUNAAB #Protest #Riot..
*FCM STANDARD REPORT*

It all started as a peaceful protest with the students needing the management to provide them with security agents to save life and properties for students staying off campus because a hostel (Adejoke hostel) was robbed overnight with a student axed down.The protest later turned into a riot after a police shot a student at the eye @ a very close range..this instigated the riot with students from Osiele and touts around joining the Riot...everybody present then tot the guy really died,this alone made the students go haywire and they all marched towards the VC church(divine height) with them destroying vehicles and burning some,the church really suffered because it was seriously damaged with the window glasses broken and the doors spoilt.

They later marched back to the camp centre (school roundabout).. and on passing through dambold somebody said "look at them looking at us and they can't give us fuel or help matters" that's when the students diverted to dambold filling station and damaged everything in sight ranging from breaking the pump glass to chasing the attendants out to them breaking the transparent freezer "con see how people dey take free soft drinks /pure waters"

Still on the matter when the students sighted the police vans coming "wow,wow,wow" ,the students really stood their ground @ first daring the police to come and with some already setting fire on anything burnable just to serve as a blockage..it was really a tense moment because nobody was allowed to take any pictures..
THE police van was coming slowly because of the blockages on the roads but you can see them fully aimed,when the police got to O2C and they found out that students are still standing their ground they fired the first teargas "POAH"!! they fired it @02C it landed at dambold.." PUAFff", chisos! Who go wait! Na today we sabi say corners dey camp,guys ran without looking back..but the policemen really didn't stop the firing because they were firing continuously into the parts students ran into(one landed at my side while running) this got people running far inner and everybody just entering into any open door(even if na babaalawo house)

When it seems the area has been cleared,students came out their hidings to the main road again and relaunched,destroying everything,and dismantling any wooden stall so as to use it as a blockage,the popular suya man stall wasn't left out because it was thrown out in a toss but his cupboard was left because it has some of his equipment like Generators and some suyas(funaabites no dull for cold suya o). They were still on the blockage when we heard gunshots "Pa!pa!pa!"..it was unexpected and it was actually a gunshot, they actually fired!�and they were coming with full force.. O boy!! Who be usain bolt? I ran and at the same time looked at the sky for any incoming tear gas so as to avoid walking on one.Every house was filled to the brim with students finding a place to hide.

The policemen came down of their vehicles and moved a little bit closer to the houses and fired a teargas into the house I was, this got everybody in the building coming out and crying unintentionally with mucus flowing out of their nose with the eyes as red as colour *deep red*.(students suffer o)
This police intervention got students away from the main road and the police force were able to clear the blockages for vehicles to pass through.
"Corners and shortcuts wey dey camp no be small o" because the students remobilized at mancot park in a more fierce mood and challenged the police one on one but the officers won't allow any student moving closer because they kept firing the tear gas down @ the students.
(I think that's when the commissioner quote "150students must be captured" came in ) because the officers are now after student's chasing them seriously.. Hot race/temple run

It seems the police had enough "tear_gas_can" because they were just firing it anyhow,@ this moment camp junction has been totally cleared with vehicles plying the road but the road to Funaab was still not motorable because the students weren't giving anybody the chance to move at all with them burning everything at the middle of the road even banners weren't exempted,at this moment a lady was caught by the students for taking pictures "Are you mad! Wetin you dey snap?you be spy abi! Give us your phone!burn her phone!format the phone!" the Lady was just pleading that she meant no harm that she was just trying to pick up her mums call but the students said "FORMAT THE PHONE!FACTORY SETTINGS!" she was later left alone..not until another brother was sighted coming from the footpath leading from that osiele side to MANCOT park and was taking pictures with confidence,angry guys rushed at him and confronted him "PLEASE, EJOR! SOMEBODY CALLED ME FROM UI,I AM HERE TO REPORT NI" (thunder wey go fire you still dey do press up).

Unknown to us the police had been moving closer to us..what we saw next was shocking and it got everybody running marathon..the police drove in toward the students with full speed so they caught up with us..and immediately they dropped off from the van they picked race immediately giving we students a hot chase instantly.. I've you ever witnessed TEMPLE RUN? I witnessed it today because the policemen refuse to stop the chase just because they need a scape goat(animal pursuing hunter)

When the policemen found out that Funaabites sabi run no be small they gave up on the chase and went to the first house opposite mancot pack and picked some students

In the course of them calming down the atmosphere they fired tear gases incessantly to the few students at the end of the street which got the poor guys crying but they still stood their feet.

What actually stopped everything was the policemen driving their van down to the end of the street(inner inner) as far as ARISH school.. And they got down and started chasing students this really calmed the situation because everybody don scatter patapata.
_In the course of me finding a place to hide I ran into a pit latrine toilet unknowingly but I had to bear the odour because I was being chased by a policeman shouting "Bring ya phone"_

You need to learn from the rugged oouites.
Note- whenever u sense a protest, always buy one bottle of kerosene with a face towel in hand. No tear gas will make u cry.

A THURSDAY TO REMEMBER.
It was supposed to be a Thursday like any other for the Staff, students and the residents of the Camp to Obantoko areas of Abeokuta. But alas, it didn't turn out that way as aggrieved residents of Adejoke Hostel (which was robbed at around 1am this morning) and FUNAAB students who are all in grief at the high number of incessant robberies in the recent weeks all come out in the early hours of this morning to hold a protest by blocking vehicles of staff and commercial buses conveying students from going into the school premises.

This was going peacefully as initially planned and was gradually dying down until a thief was caught red handed and said to have stolen a phone was beaten by the mob at Isolu. The thief was reported to be an indigene and was also reported to have tried to make away with the phone but was caught by the protesters who were still angry over the Adejoke robbery incident. This made them pour out their anger in him and dealt mercilessly with him.

While all these were going on, a little fracas was started at Camp as reports stated that gunshots were heard as policemen were on ground and were using tear gas and to disperse the crowd. In the midst of the hullaballoo, *a first year student of the department of Forestry and Wildlife Management; Abisoye Taiwo was shot in the left eye and was initially rumoured to be dead* although according to an eye witness report, it was a can of tear gas that was ejected by the policeman who took the shot, but the victim was rendered unconscious due to the force and the range of the shot. The victim was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Idi Aba, Abeokuta where he was reported to be placed under Intensive Care by the NANS President, Comrade Opaleye Dotun p.k.a Zamora and executives of the FUNAAB Students' Union before he was taken to the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan for further treatment.

Although FUNAABITES clamoured for picture evidence to back up this claim, the NANS President and the excos explained to us that they were denied pictures by the doctors at the hospital. This claim was later confirmed by some students who were also at FMC at the time.

Meanwhile, the protest taking place at camp had escalated as protesters had taken the protest to another level, proceeding to the Kotopo and Eleweeran areas of Abeokuta; burning vehicles and vandalising some properties in the process (including the church of the Vice Chancellor; Divine Heights Bible Church). The policemen tried to disperse the protesters with tear gas and stones and some were also arrested as some of the witnesses reported cases of being chased by the policemen. The entire area was locked down for the time and there was very little movement from vehicles.

A report later came about the Commissioner of Police giving an order for students to be arrested. The order was instantly carried out as policemen began patrolling the all areas in Camp, and even going as far as arresting students in their houses. Although the NANS President, the FUNAAB Chief Security Officer (CSO) and some others are said to be working on their release.

Students staying around the camp and Isolu areas have been told to remain indoors today and tomorrow morning as the raids would still continue.

While all this happened outside the school, the school management declared a *7- day Mid semester break* starting from today. The information was dispersed via SMS and goes thus:
*“The VC on behalf of Senate has declared a 7-day mid semester break from Thur18 Aug 2016. Students should vacate the halls of residence latest 6pm.
Thank u”*
Although the Deputy Vice Chancellor Development (DVC Devp.), Prof. Enikomeyin and the DVC Academics Prof. Eromosele were at the various Halls of Residence to address students and assured the constant supply of water and electricity while imploring students not to leave the hostels until peace is restored.

But there was a level of joy for residents of the halls of residence as the food vendors at SUB made it a bonanza evening as the food they had cooked in anticipation for the busy day ahead could not be wasted. Students flooded SUB in a short time and free food was given to everyone on ground.

Guess it was a happy ending after all

I give you 1,000,000 likes. You captured those moments and made me feel like I was at camp with you. Those corners @camp can lead you to anywhere ...I mean anywhere ..just name it.
But I sorry for Dambold and also the church destroyed. Managing a ministry is different from managing an institution.
His very first mistake was increasing that rectification fee back then in 2012. Since then its Ben one misstep to the other.I really pity him.
Balogun is such a leader, a Student cum Vice Chancellor.

Every student had access to his phone number and can personally lodge a complaint.

God arise and save fUNAAB... The only school I walk around midnight and not afraid of praying alone at night tell day break.

OPEN LETTER TO FUNAABITES

If you are a funaabite and you care about this school, you would please read this through.
The protest that escalated into Riot yesterday sent signals that we all should take note of, As much as I am happy that we finally stood up for something am afraid It might be the last time such would happen, because of the intimidation we are going to face. But we shouldn't be discouraged, it should rather spur us to stand up and against injustice, some of us made daring sacrifices yesterday, it was reported that 34 students were arrested, one of us was shot at by the police which they vehemently denied, through their spokesperson on channelsTV report yesterday, Taiwo isn't dead "and we are seriously praying for his recovery" but he made a daring sacrifice for us all. He took a bullet for us and we shouldn't let this heroic act just pass. While all these happened some of us cowardly sat in our hostels with our phone and updated ourselves as it all went down. To the brave hearts that came out "THANK YOU", to the creative minds that wrote and tweeted "THANK YOU"
Nobody, particularly none of us would have thought We could muster enough courage to take to the streets. We have always been regarded as Advanced Secondary School students, but something changed yesterday. Yesterday was the day I had imagined but never thought was going to manifest. The Nigerian Police Force under whosoever's authority might have succeeded in chasing us off the street by firing bullets at us ​(which by the way, the Police were never supposed to come to a protest or riot with guns talk less of firing at students)​ But the STRUGGLE CONTINUES and every one, to the very last one of us should be involved in this STRUGGLE,
Now that we are off the streets let' s pick our PENS and write, let's pick our PHONES and tweet, let our voices be heard. There is an advantage we have, we have the number, over 15,000 students in this school. Question needs to be asked
The Police yesterday claimed on CHANNELS TV, they didn't shoot at anybody. Then they should then explain what poor Taiwo is doing in UCH where he is been treated for gunshot wound. They arrested 34 students that are going to definitely be tortured like criminals because they protested, should we allow these Sacrfices by these students just pass by. Lets not forget that if this set of useless Policemen have done their job, none of this would have happened, we probably won't be at this point. They have succeeded in making us VICT IMS and made themselves VILLIANS
Like I said earlier we are going to be intimidated and if we are not careful they would break us to the point where we won't be able to raise our heads anymore. Now more than ever we need to stand in ONE VOICE. Mark my words the School is going to make an attempt to expell those 34 students arrested by the police, but TOGETHER we are going to refuse that, The school might attempt to suspend the SUG and with ONE VOICE we are going to refuse that.
It is time to let them know we have a SAY in the affairs of the school. If the have always had their way controlling the SUG officials, they can't control all of us. And we all have a part to play in this, start by spreading the word. Make sure every Funaabite you are in contact with reads this. "ALUTA CONTINUA" and VICTORY is cetatin.
