On Tuesday, some students of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State (FUOYE) staged a peaceful protest over poor power supply in the community.
The peaceful demonstration, however, turned bloody after some hoodlums hijacked it and engaged police operatives.
According to multiple reports, two students were shot dead while others were injured. The injured students were reportedly rushed to the medical centre of the institution.
