Students of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Iseyin campus, have protested rising cases of robberies, hostel invasions, and assaults around their campus.
The demonstrators say armed intruders frequently attack student lodges—especially in areas like Adenike and Under-G—stealing valuables and harassing residents, including reports of sexual assaults.
In response, students blocked the university gate and marched through the town, demanding tighter security, better lighting, and constant patrols. The university management has acknowledged the incidents but urged calm, promising collaboration with law enforcement. The Oyo State House of Assembly has also called on security agencies to step up protection for students.
Tensions remain high as students await concrete action to restore safety on campus.
