At Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), armed men who are thought to be herders have been charged with entering into private residence halls, taking phones and other belongings, and reportedly murdering two people.

According to a post by X user Zainab_Horlaide, last Monday the suspected herders broke into neighborhoods around the Stadium Area of Ogbomoso town in Oyo State and broke into many hotels that housed hundreds of LAUTECH students.

But according to several of the impacted students SaharaReporter talked with, the suspected herders broke into their rooms and stole their possessions, including pricey phones and other devices.

According to the kids, the attackers had machetes and firearms, among other hazardous weapons.

“I am not at all safe where I am right now. They robbed students last Monday at approximately two in the morning.

These Fulani individuals joined the G side. The hotels next to us were among the hostels they plundered. Even the hotel guests that night were robbed.

One of the students said, “And they robbed them and three buildings that are inside that hostel next to mine.”

“They only robbed the first and the second buildings,” she said. They gathered various items, including phones. They were gathering passwords in addition to phones.

After beating those who refused to give over their phones, they headed to the hostels in the rear.

They ended up in the hospital after even beating a few individuals. That day, I believe at least two individuals lost their lives.

According to a different source, last week, Fulani herders visited a hostel near the Stadium in Ogbomoso. Luckily, however, I wasn’t at the hostel.

“They broke into our hostel at first, but no one was hurt. They simply gathered people’s phones. However, we’ve heard that they murdered someone in the Under G region. Regarding it, I don’t really know anything. However, I wasn’t there when they arrived at my hostel. However, many in the vicinity were robbed.

On X (previously Twitter), a few internet users had tweeted about the occurrence. “This situation is getting worse every day,” commented @Mars2rano, an X user. Crime is becoming more and more prevalent on our campus. Increased security in school settings is desperately needed.

“We are fed up with this, security personnel from the DPO of Police in Ogbomosho North, Adenike, Under G, Yoaco, which has become into a haven for armed robbers. We need your assistance to safeguard our school grounds. We are no longer able to sleep.”

In a video that Zainab posted on X, a student describes how the attackers broke into his room. “Almost every day, Lautech students are being robbed,” Zainab wrote. Until they murder pupils?

“Now the atmosphere is intolerable!” said one of the pupils. They now find it difficult to fall asleep at night. Would you please give remedies for the persistent threat?

“This is among the victims of the robbery at Lautech Ogbomoso,” he said. The robbers broke into their hostel and took away devices valued at millions of dollars. The kids’ lives are in jeopardy. Please take action right now! ”

Amotekun, a regional security organization, has been briefed on the happenings, the students told SaharaReporters. However, Amotekun spokeswoman Mrs. Ayolola Adedoja said she was unaware of the happenings in an interview with SaharaReporters on Thursday morning.

We were unable to contact the Oyo Police Command for comment. On Thursday morning, the command spokeswoman, Adewale Osifeso, turned down several calls. A note asking him to comment on the assaults has likewise gone unanswered.
