The Police in Lagos state have arrested two
students of the University of Lagos for
allegedly attacking the Vice Chancellor with a
view to disrupting the convocation week.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni,
who confirmed the arrest to newsmen on
Tuesday, said the leader of the group, who
planned the attack, was also arrested.

He said that some officers had been drafted to
the institution to ensure that the convocation
week went without any hitch.
He warned trouble makers to keep off the
school.

In a related development, three secondary
school students were arrested in Ikoyi for
alleged involvement in cult activities and for
disrupting public peace.
Owoseni said the students were arrested with
dangerous weapons such as dagger, axe,
cutlasses and iron rods which they allegedly
used to disrupt public peace.
He said the three students were among 10
students picked up from the school (name
withheld) during a supremacy clash between
two cult groups over girl friend related matter.

“We have invited the parents of the three
students for discussion.
“ Although they are minors, the three students
will be prosecuted because they were found
with dangerous weapons.

“They will face the same law adult accused of
similar crime face while the remaining students
and their parents will be counselled by the
police,’’ Owoseni said. (NAN
