Students of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology(LAUTECH) got more than they bargained for after staging a protest against the school’s authorities for hiking fees.
Soldiers, on Wednesday, chased the protesting students who had blocked major roads and shut down the Institution’s main Campus in Ogbomoso and Medical School in Osogbo.
Trouble started on Monday after the institution sent a mail to all students announcing that indigenes are now to pay N200,000 while non-indigenes are to pay N250,000 for the new session which will commence on October 29.
The new fees are against the initial N63,500 for indigenes and N72,500 for non-indigenes who are returning students.
This didn’t go down well with the students who wasted no time in mobilizing a massive protest which has now been dispersed by fierce looking soldiers.
