Students of the Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife in Osun State have protested the arrest of their colleagues by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The students stormed the EFCC office in Ibadan, Oyo State on Wednesday, a day after the anti-graft agency apprehended some students of the institution.

Channels Television reports that the protesting students carried various placards, expressing disappointment at the action of the anti-graft agency.

Some of the inscriptions on the placards read, “I am a medical student, not a Yahoo boy,” “Why remove the CCTV cameras if you are armed robbers,” “Criminals trying to arrest criminals,” among others.

At the EFCC Ibadan office, operatives of the anti-graft commission had barricaded their premises with watertight security.

Despite the tight presence of security officials, the OAU students were calling on the leadership of the commission to attend to them.
