The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, has confirmed that 32 suspects have been arrested following a violent attack on a Ministry of Education team at the Federal College of Education (Technical) in the Akoka area of the state.

According to Hundeyin, the team had been sent to mediate a three-month-long impasse between staff and the Provost, who had been locked out of his office.

However, the situation escalated when staff and students attacked the team, damaging over five vehicles and the Provost’s quarters.

He added that the rioters also blocked all entrances and exits to the college, prompting a police response.

Hundeyin made this known while reacting to a viral report by Tomisin, who identifies as #TomisinWhyte on X.com on Monday, reporting police shooting and tear gas used during the protests.

#TomisinWhyte had tweeted, “Emergency Alert. There are reports of police shooting and tear gas being used on students at Akoka Road.

“This is happening during ongoing protests. Please help spread the word.”



Hundeyin clarified the situation, emphasizing that the police intervention was necessary to maintain peace and order.

Hundeyin wrote, “For over three months, staff of the Federal College of Education (Technical), Akoka locked out their Provost, depriving him use of his office.

“A team set up by the Minister of Education arrived the school today to mediate the ongoing impasse. However, staff of the college aided by students attacked the team from Abuja, damaging over five vehicles and the Provost’s official quarters.

“Not done, the rioting staff and students also blocked all entrances in and out of the college. The police arrived the scene and restored normalcy after being attacked with stones and sachets of water by the rioters.

“Meanwhile, 32 suspects have been arrested while men of the Nigeria Police Force from Area Command, Surulere remain on ground to ensure that the restored peace remains intact.”

When they call for protest, it is to destroy! It is never for peace.

This institution is one of the foremost and oldest Technical Colleges in Nigeria, I have always seen it as a very peaceful institution and I found this completely shocking that it's same FCE( Technical) Akoka shocked near the gate of the prestigious University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka.

This is very unfortunate and completely unacceptable. Everyone, including the embattled Provost, must be investigated and everyone indicted must be prosecuted!

Before these legendary propagandists and hypemen of FG (Failing Governments) hijack this thread to insinuate that this is related to the end bad governance / hunger protest of which I am not opined on;
Let me clarify that this incident is an internal conflict between the staff of the said school and their provost likely from issues that are tangential to the effects of bad governance pervading this nation.

Tinubu zombies please consider your future before defending a failed case. Someone like Seyi Law has relocated abroad yet still defending what made him run away from home, make it make sense. At least his confusion has been rewarded with a special adviser position, what about you, the minimum wage earner still supporting a failure on empty stomach.

This has nothing to do with August 1 protest. This is the students and staff rioting against their management!

Don't get it twisted!

The police didn't do enough.
Anyone found destroying things should be shot dead immediately.
No story.

That way, only peaceful protesters will come out to protest. Vandals will be stay away.

The only people talking about violent protests is the people in power. Even endSARS protests was peaceful until government in Lagos State sponsored thugs and inserted among the protesters to cause destruction and harm.
