Students of the College of Education, Kwara State Polytechnic, along
with their counterparts from other tertiary institutions in the area
today continued their protest in Ilorin, the state capital, over
yesterday’s shooting of one of their colleagues by a policeman.
Ahmed Dayo, who is said to be receiving treatment at the University
of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, was shot by a reckless policeman deployed
to a bullion van being used by a commercial bank.
He was said to have shot the student, who was in a taxi, while trying
to shoot out the cab’s tires to clear the way for his van.Responding in
anger to what they characterized as the “barbaric and senseless”
shooting of their colleague, the students marched in their thousands,
making bonfires on such major streets as Taiwo, Unity, and Muritala, on
their way to Government House.
