Staff and students of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) prevented an attempt by policemen to arrest the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joshua Ogunwole, at his residence in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday. The policemen arrived at the Vice-Chancellor's official residence around 6:10am, according to Prof. Ogunwole, who said his children woke him up after noticing the security personnel. He initially declined to come out because he was unsure whether the men were genuine police officers and wanted to establish the reason for their presence. The development drew members of the university community, including academic, non-academic staff and students, to the Vice-Chancellor's residence, where they gathered in solidarity and opposed the alleged arrest attempt.
