Riots at Bowen University Iwo, Osun.

Riots at Bowen University Iwo, Osun.

There was a restless night at Bowen University Iwo in Osun State. 

According to Linda Ikeji, the riot was over what the students described as “lack of basic amenities”, like water and light.

What also made the youths angry is “unnecessary rules and regulations” being made by the school management, plus plans to increase the school fees.

During the riots some of the school’s property was destroyed, vehicles and chaplain's home were vandalized.

While the students were on rampage, the school security staff escaped. The arrival of police cooled down the heat of the protest.

Bowen University is a private university owned and operated by the Nigerian Baptist Convention.
