Students of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo state are protesting the death of one of their colleagues, Folarera Ademola, an ND1 student of Science Laboratory Technology who was killed by an officer of the Amotekun corps.
Speaking on the development, the Students’ Union President, Olorunda Oluwafemi, confirmed that the boy was shot on the 27th of June by an officer of the Amotekun in front of his parent’s house.
