Police Fire Tear Gas At Protesting UNILAG Students, Arrest Two

Two protesters were on Wednesday, arrested at the University of Lagos Junction while protesting a fee increase at the institution.

The two students, named Femi Adeyeye and Philip Olatinwo, were arrested by policemen and put in a police van stationed in the area.

“They mobilised policemen from many stations,” Adeyeye said, sharing another video of himself and Philip in the van.

Another protester, Bayo, revealed that policemen fired tear gas at them and many students that had gathered, dispersed.

“Many students have fled the scene. I’m hiding somewhere. Femi and Philip are inside the Black Maria. They have not moved them to anywhere,” Bayo said.

A video trending on social media showed some of the protesters carrying placards as they fled from the tear gas said to have been fired by the police.
