Scores of students of the Federal College of
Agriculture, Akure, Ondo State staged a protest in
the state capital on Tuesday, against alleged rape of
their female colleagues by some suspected
hoodlums.

They alleged that three female students of the
institution fell victim when the hoodlums invaded
their campus in the early hours of Tuesday.

The aggrieved students blocked the ever-busy
Fiwasaye/Owo Road, causing a gridlock that lasted
many hours.

President of FECA Students Union, Mr. Oladapo
Akindamini, explained that about five hoodlums
allegedly led by a part-time student of the school,
invaded the campus around midnight and headed
for the female hostel.

He said, “Other students were alerted by the noise
from the female hostel only to discover that two of
the female students had been raped while the third
student was molested and cut with a machete.

“Two other students were also wounded by the
rapists. We have taken them to the general hospital
for treatment.”

He added that the students, who were preparing
for their examination, rushed out of their hostels
and apprehended one of the hoodlums who was
handed over to a security officer in the school. He
said the officer kept the suspect in an open room
instead of handing him over to the police. He
added that the lapse gave the hoodlum the
oportunuty to escape.

Akindamini said, “The major grouse of the students
was that the security personnel can no longer
guarantee the safety of students and staff living
within the school campus.

“What further angered the students was the
conduct of the Chief Security Officer who allowed
one of the hoodlums arrested by the students to
escape.”

The provost of the college however blamed the
porous nature of the institution for the
development and appealed to the Federal
Government to complete the school’s fencing
project.

She said, “It is true that some students were raped
by the some of their colleagues who were on
campus on part-time basis.”
