27 students of Osun poly expelled over protest against EFCC
No fewer than twenty-seven Higher National Diploma (HND) students from the Federal Polytechnic Ede in Osun state have been suspended for two semesters, while two former Student Union leaders have been banned from the campus.
This disciplinary action follows a riotous protest against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The incident began when EFCC operatives raided hostels in Owode Ede, a neighbouring community to Ede, and arrested over 70 suspected internet fraudsters.
In response, some students protested at the EFCC zonal office in Ibadan, which escalated into a violent demonstration on campus, resulting in property damage.
The students accused the school management of failing to secure the release of the arrested students

Following the unrest, the school’s management established a panel to investigate those involved in the protests and suspended student union activities.
The institution’s media director, Sola Lawal, confirmed the suspension of the 27 HND students involved in the riotous protest.
He said: “The management of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede Osun state constituted an investigation committee to unravel the miseries surrounding the Student’s crisis/rampage of Thursday, May 9th, 2024 leading to the stoning of people at the senior staff club.
“The unprovoked attitude led to the vandalization of individual and institution’s properties. This unwarranted action negates the motto of the great citadel which the institution is known for after a painstaking and thorough investigation.
“27 students of HND 1 and 2 have been expelled, 8 HND II students have been suspended for two academic sessions while 2 former students union leadership were banned from entering the two campuses of the institution.”
