The medical centre of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, (FUOYE), has denounced reports from students of the University that at least three deaths might have been recorded when hoodlums hijacked the peaceful protest organised by the school’s students Union to press home their demand for adequate power supply on the twin campuses of Oye and Ikole.
According to a reliable source from the medical centre of the school, there were only two with injuries who are being stabilised while one had a gunshot wound at the abdomen. He is also been taken care of.
“Do not mind the fake news on the social media. We haven’t yet at this time, 7:49pm on ( Tuesday night) recorded any death of a student or police officer. Those are mere rumours. What I can categorically tell you is that three students of the school were wounded one with a head injury which is the picture being circulated and another with serious bruises. The third has a gunshot wound on the bowel and we are already attending to the three. But no death has been recorded”.
The policeman allegedly lynched was just a an old picture of a security man fetched from the social media,” the source said.
