*Nigeria Police arrest 20 protesting Moshood Abiola Polytechnic students*
Ogun Police Command on Tuesday arrested no fewer than 20 protesting students of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, for alleged disturbance of the public peace.
Meanwhile they were arrested on the second day of a week-long protest tagged, ‘black week.’
The action, which began on Monday, was meant to protest against the students’ inability to sit for their second semester examination earlier scheduled for September 18.
A combined team of men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad and mobile policemen, among others, swooped on the students at Pansheke, where they had made bonfires, and arrested 20 of them.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed that no fewer than 20 students were arrested.
He said the protesting students destroyed public property and attacked policemen, as well as passersby.
