ON Wednesday June 19, 2013 a Police Constable attached to the Oyo
State Police command, Ajisafe Amos, with Police Force number 497226,
‘invaded’ the University of Ibadan (UI) with arms in chase of one
Adewale Adegboyega, who drove a red coloured Honda Accord and
incessantly shot at the car within the university premises.
At first, the university community scampered to safety but after a volley of shots was released to render the car driven by a student of Guidance and Counseling immobile, students close to the scene of the incident summoned up courage and mobbed the policeman.
But for the timely intervention of the DPO of Sango Police Division, student leaders and the university security outfit known as Abefele, it would have resulted to a revolt and possible lynching of the trigger-happy policeman for disrupting the peace on campus.
According to Adegboyega, who is suspected to be an online fraudster, he was chased from Mokola to the university gate because he failed to tip the men in black. In protest of the action of the police team, the students led by the Student Union Government President, Babatunde Badmus, demanded the dismissal of the policeman.
He added that it was dangerous for a policeman to shoot into the air in a densely populated environment like a university campus. The students seized the identity card of the policeman to prevent possible denial that the person who pulled the trigger was not a policeman
