We converged this morning at MAPOLY to express our grievances to the Ogun State government and on our way going to Oke Mosan we were accosted by the entourage of the deputy governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt first we thought she was sent from Oke-Mosan to engage the student constituency not until the policemen attached to her started shooting at Nigeria students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe even took three out of the bullets they shot at us at OPIC on our way to Iwe Iroyin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Francis maintained that none of the students were armed with stick, saying, \u201cIt is a blatant lie against Nigerian students; even her policemen injured some of our students. It was after that that the students started chasing their vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Deputy Governor of Ogun State, Noimot Salako-Oyedele, on Wednesday reportedly escaped an attack by representatives of student bodies during a protest in Abeokuta.
