There is tension at the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State as students of the institution protest the death of one of them, who died as a result of an accident on Monday.
The student, who barricaded Akure–Ilesa Expressway, accused the school security guards of causing the death of the student, one Daniel Akinyele, a 200 level Software Engineering Department.
According to the angry students, their colleague died because the security guards failed to open the gate for them to rush the victim to the hospital after the accident.
The protesting students argued that the victim would have survived had the security guards allowed them to rush him to the hospital.
The protest, according to an eyewitness, led to a serious traffic logjam on the busy expressway.
The development was confirmed by the school’s Head of Media and Protocols, Mr Adengbenro Adebanjo.
