Meanwhile, the protest taking place at camp had escalated as protesters had taken the protest to another level, proceeding to the Kotopo and Eleweeran areas of Abeokuta; burning vehicles and vandalising some properties in the process (including the church of the Vice Chancellor; Divine Heights Bible Church). The policemen tried to disperse the protesters with tear gas and stones and some were also arrested as some of the witnesses reported cases of being chased by the policemen. The entire area was locked down for the time and there was very little movement from vehicles.
A report later came about the Commissioner of Police giving
an order for students to be arrested. The order was instantly carried
out as policemen began patrolling the all areas in Camp, and even going
as far as arresting students in their houses. Although the NANS
President, the FUNAAB Chief Security Officer (CSO) and some others are
said to be working on their release.
Students staying around the camp and Isolu areas have been
told to remain indoors today and tomorrow morning as the raids would
still continue.
