Tension erupted in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, on Tuesday over alleged shooting of a student by a yet-to-be-identified security agent, at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Ogbomoso.
Report gathered that the incident occurred when the security agent was invited to settle a misunderstanding between two people in the school.
While attempting to settle the matter, the officer reportedly shot sporadically into the air, and one of the students was allegedly gunned down leaving two others injured.
The incident had since then triggered a riot as students locked the school gates in protest, demanding justice for the deceased.
In response to this, the Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, ASP Adewale Osifeso, said that the Command has commenced an investigation into the matter.
