No fewer than nine students of the College of Education, Ekiadolor, in Edo State have been arrested for displaying violence and disturbing public peace during a protest.
Students of the college had last week Wednesday staged a protest around the Benin-Ore expressway over the state of the institution and the plan by their lecturers to down tools, which they feared could disrupt their examinations and totally ground academic activities in the institution.
It was, however, learnt that two cars in the convoy of the Esama of Benin Kingdom in the state, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, which were among other vehicle caught up in the gridlock caused by the protest, were allegedly destroyed by the students during their protest.
Chief Igbinedion’s convoy was said to be headed for the University of Ibadan on for an event, as part of activities to mark his 80th birthday.
