“All efforts to allow the convoy to pass proved abortive and immediately the students realized it was the Deputy Governor, they became more restive and rushed to attack her convoy to demobilize it. All efforts by her security operatives as well as other police officers on the ground to persuade the students to stay calm and allow the convoy to pass proved abortive”.

“This informed her convoy’s decision to make a detour to her lodge for the protesting students to pass peacefully before she left for the function she was slated to attend.

“There was obstruction of vehicular movement, while some of her security vehicles were damaged and her security operatives were also hurt in the process of maintaining law and order.
