A final-year student named Jamiu was allegedly shot dead after a fight between cult members and police at Lajolo village, which brings to mind other violent incidents involving students at Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin.

Numerous people, including police officers, were hurt in this confrontation.

The Kwara State Police Command explained that, in response to ongoing violence in the region, the altercation occurred during an operation aimed at cults.

“The injured policeman and the suspects have been taken to the hospital for treatment,” according to the police.

Students protested the incident, blocking traffic and creating disturbances.

The incident happened in the nearby Lajolo neighborhood, not on campus, as the polytechnic administration made clear.

They guaranteed that nothing would impact scheduled campus events, such as exams.

However, in order to settle things down and deal with the fallout from these upsetting events, officials moved quickly.
