The Students’ Union Government of DS Adegbenro ICT Polytechnic says security agencies have commenced investigations into the recent robbery attack that claimed the life of a student and left others injured in the Eruku community, while new security measures have been introduced to protect students.The union disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday after what it described as a high-level security meeting held on August 3 with the institution’s management, traditional rulers, alumni representatives and heads of security agencies operating within the Itori axis.The meeting, according to the statement jointly signed by the SUG President, Okunuga Opeyemi, General Secretary, Idris Amidat, and Public Relations Officer, Caleb-Martins Hannah, was convened to address growing security concerns, students’ welfare and economic challenges affecting students on and off campus.The union said security agencies, working with the school management and community leaders, had begun “deep and thorough investigations” into the robbery incident.“We wish to inform the student body that security agencies, in close collaboration with the school management and local leadership, are currently conducting deep and thorough investigations into the recent robbery incident.“Every effort is being deployed to track down perpetrators and prevent any future occurrence,” the statement read.The SUG also disclosed that discussions were ongoing with the 35 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Alamala Barracks, over the establishment of a military base and checkpoint within the area to strengthen security.It further directed all students to carry valid school identity cards whenever they leave their residences, saying the measure had become necessary following intensified stop-and-search operations by security agencies across Itori and neighbouring communities.“In light of intensified security measures and frequent stop-and-search operations by law enforcement across Itori and its environs, all bona fide students are hereby strictly directed to carry a valid means of identification (School ID Card) whenever leaving their residences,” the union stated.The student body also raised concerns over the rising cost of accommodation, alleging that arbitrary rent increases by landlords had forced some students to abandon their studies despite being able to pay tuition fees.Related NewsArmy arrests four Boko Haram logistics suppliers in BornoStop blaming Tinubu, Oyetola for your woes, APC replies AdelekeWenger backs decision to scrap Infantino’s controversial World Cup proposal“The President highlighted with deep pain how extortionate rent hikes by off-campus landlords have forced several promising students to drop out—not because they could not pay their tuition, but because accommodation has become unaffordable,” the statement added.The union also criticised the persistent insecurity around student communities, particularly Afowowa, Eruku and the Complex Gasline area, despite the visible presence of police and SWAT personnel.It equally complained about unstable electricity supply in Eruku, describing it as a challenge affecting students’ academic activities and security.On the controversial N50,000 penalty reportedly imposed on students who fail to lock hostel gates in Afowowa, the SUG said the traditional ruler of the community explained that the measure was introduced to prevent hoodlums from gaining access to student residences.The union urged students residing in the area to comply with the directive while discussions on the policy continue.Following the meeting, stakeholders resolved to strengthen joint security patrols involving traditional rulers, the institution and security agencies, while the management also revealed plans to build on-campus hostels to provide safer and more affordable accommodation for students.The SUG added that further engagements would be held with landlords’ associations to address rent hikes and protect students’ rights.PUNCH Online had earlier reported that students of the institution blocked the Abeokuta-Lagos Expressway on July 28 after suspected armed robbers attacked about 15 houses in the Eruku community, killing a final-year Higher National Diploma student and injuring at least three others.The incident forced the institution to postpone examinations as authorities moved to improve security in the area.
