WHAT A SUCCESS FILLED AND RIOT FREE MATRICULATION DAY IN KWARA STATE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION ILORIN.
It was really an amazing and a dream come true matter today at Kwara State College of Education Ilorin campus before, during and after the new intakes matriculation day.
The event kicked off at exactly 10:30am today at the school hall 2 building, the students already filled the hall to the extent that,the hall could no longer accommodate any more students again. The securities started stopping the students from going in so that the hall would not be overcrowded.
The program kicked off exactly at 10:30am upon the arrival of the school Provost and some other Professors in the college. Our reporter was denied entering the hall at first by the school securities but after series of explanations and presentation of his press card he was allowed in. The National anthem was recited, followed by the opening speech and words of advice to the students. Thankfully the event went well with no casualties recorded.
The casualties recorded so far isn't much and critical, although even as tough as the security in the campus is today some hoodlums still manage to find their way in successfully with the help of their gangs that are in school, some were from Kwara State Polytechnic, while some are from places like Federal Polytechnic offa, college of Education oro, lafiagi,Kwasu malete and so on but thank God their planned attacks were foiled and aborted because the police kept parading and spotting them in their hideouts.
Also a guy was arrested by the man'o war securities this early morning suspected to be among those that smuggled their way in to destroy the peace of the school and was taken to an unknown destination.
Also another casualty that was observed was that of the students Union and Students representative councils engaging in some kind of violent act with the chairman of the photographers invited to take students pictures in the school today an also a photographer was reportedly to have intended to box an SRC executive when he tried to seize his camera.
The police later came to the scene to arrest the fighters and took them down to the security unit, the speaker of the school was seen dramatizing that his SRC must not be locked up, so he made a call to the sug President who later joined them then went to the security unit to get the SRC out.
When we interviewed an SUG exco about the incident, he said ,the man refused to purchase a pass/receipt meant for people who came to take photographs for students which caused the Honorable to forcefully collect his camera which he wasn't ready to release to him that was the reason for the commotion between them.
We later interviewed the speaker of the school,hon.Abdullahi Ahmed bolakale he said we have done a meeting with them yesterday and we reached an agreement that they will be issued a pass/ticket to cover them up and we promised not to allow any outsider come in to work but them, only for us to arrive now and we were being told another story most especially by the chairman (Bob shege) that we will be settled in two days time, just listen to that. We only asked them to pay a sum of 300naira only then a receipt to cover them up will be issued. But some complied while some refused so I asked the SRCs to start seizing cameras starting from the chairman himself. He was reportedly said to have slapped the SRC which arouse the anger of others and the students also and started beating him up before the police who were nearby interference.
Apart from all these, the matriculation was nothing but a total riot free and success filled one and series of Kudos to the Students Unions and Students Representative councils sen.Muzamil Alagbede and Hon.Abdullahi Ahmed Bolakale led for their efforts to make it be that way.
Kudos to the Man'o war securities also for stopping students at the school gate for checking in and asking ladies with too much make ups and indecent dressings to go back/rob their lips off at the gate before going in. Also to the Policemen who kept parading the campus and making it a hell to stay for the people who came to disturb the peace of the college.
On behalf of the whole Campusechoe Editors, we are saying happy matriculation day to the Freshers.
