There was heavy presence of Mobile Police men in the University community of Akungba-Akoko in Ondo state yesterday to ensure the strict compliance with the order by the institution’s management for the students to vacate the Campus.
The University Community has been deserted following the closure of the institution.
AAUA was shut last Saturday by its management due to the protest that greeted the death of a student by Okada motorcycle commercial operator.
Already ,the absence of students who formed about 80 per cent of the entire population in the town had started affecting the socio-economic lifeline of its residents.
A market woman, Mrs Ajaratu Ajimo said the closure was affecting her means of survival.
Another business centre owner, Sule Ogundele who had just paid his annual rent prayed for quick resolution of the impasse.
It was noticed that many Okada Operators in Akungba-Akoko had relocated to neighbouring towns like Ikare,Supare,Arigidi-Akoko,Oke-Agbe and others to make ends meet.
Sources said some students arrested during the protest are still in police custody for their unruly act.
