Activist, students arrested for protesting tuition fee hike in UI
Activist, students arrested for protesting tuition fee hike in UI
Security personnel at the University of Ibadan apprehended three individuals, including an activist, during a protest against the rise in school fees.
The detained students are Aduwo Ayodele and Nice Linus, alongside activist Femi Adeyeye. Their arrest on Monday morning stemmed from objections to the recent tuition fee increase.
According to Sahara Reporters, they were being held at the university’s security post.
Attempts to contact the school administration for comments were unsuccessful.
In April, the UI Students’ Union Executive Council, led by Samuel Samson Tobiloba, criticized the 750% tuition hike for new students.

The council urged an immediate reversal of the increment and sought a meeting with the university management to address the issue. The student union’s stance was prompted by the updated fees displayed on the students’ portal, ranging from N133,500 to N372,500 depending on the courses.
“We note with concern that this increment represents about 450% to 750% of the previous bundle fee which ranged from about N20,000 to N30,000,” the students’ body said, noting that it was not in support of the increment.
It, however, advised fresh students to exercise patience and not rush to pay the new fee.
It condemned the “increment in strong terms, and requested that this proposed increment be reverted to the status quo”.
“We are also requesting for a meeting with the University Management towards resolving this issue,” it said.
