59 funaab students arrested by the ogun state police command just because of a peaceful protest

59 funaab students were arrested by the Ogun state police command just because of a peaceful protest.. The students gathered to express their dissatisfaction to cases of intense robbery perpetrated within their campus for several months without any meaningful efforts from the police force to quell the robbery. The annoyance escalated when the robbers started to rape students in their hostels and matcheted many students who refused to surrender their phones or laptops. The once peaceful funaabites marched out in their numbers to express their displease on a federal road. They demanded to be addressed by the Commissioner of Police, who must sign an undertaken to build a police office closer to the school and provide SARS members at night . Instead of this, the new Ogun State CP sent his boys to dismantle the protest.
An unarmed 100l student was shot in the eye by a poli
 officer. The boy fell immediately and went into coma.. Several tear gas and gunshots were fired sporadically by the police force in all directions. Where are we heading to in this country?? When unarmed students are been harmed by the police due to a peaceful protest. When did it become a crime, to gather and speak out for our rights? Is this the change we all voted for?? It is disheartening that after 50 years of post-colonial, our police is nothing than barbaric animals. Police that couldn't show up to apprehend robbers robbing students came out with reinforcement to shoot and beat students.. Well, few minutes later , students got angry and the animal in man awoke!!! They marched and went on #auto-destroy.. They destroyed the Vice chancellor church and burnt his bus. They marched fiercely at the police force!!! Do you blame or condemn them for destroying a church of God? What else do you expect them to do when the police force drew the 1st blood. By shooting an 100l student.
Reports later came in, that the CP of Ogun police command ordered the arrest of 150 students!!.
Ogun police officers marched to several hostels, breaking the doors of each rooms in an attempt to meet up with the CP's target.
59 students were arrested and most of them were ordinary onlookers that never took part in the violence or protest.
As at now , the students have been denied bail and they are been tortured illegally by the police!!!
To worsen the matter, the special adviser to Governor Amosun turned the story around.. They claimed it was students that harrased the police. The police and the state government under the leadership of Amosun went ahead to distort facts. They went ahead to punch newspapers to tilt the truth and accuse students wrongly.
It will shock you to know that while the police were arresting students in their rooms, it was reported that some police officers stole the phones of students!!!!
59 students are presently in jail, detained without concrete evidence..
This was the same way @Emmanuel Ojo was detained without concrete evidence..
Their parents are presently in tears.. Their parents never sent them to school to receive bullets wound from the police or to be beaten to stupor or rather to be jailed for as long as it pleases them..
#arrested students must be released!!!
The commissioner of police must be sacked!!!!
Pls rebroadcast as received till it reaches d right person. BE VIGILANT!!!!!

Rio Olympics: Ethiopian swimmer speaks out about being dubbed a "whale, fat and tubby"

Ethiopian Olympic swimmer Robel Kiros Habt was being branded a "whale" following his poor performance at the Rio Games and his extra weight. He finished last in the Preliminary Men’s 100m Freestyle heats at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium. 

The 24 year old was the only one of the 59 entrants in the heats not to complete the distance in under a minute. He was ranked 59th with a time of 1 minute 4.95 seconds. 

Viewers made fun of the Ethiopian athlete’s body shape and compared it to his competitors. Some were particularly harsh in their commentary by dubbing him a "whale" and "fat". Media reports referred to him as "tubby, "chubby" and "overweight". The Daily Mail even invited readers to "meet Robel the whale"

The Ethiopia-based university student, whose entry for Rio was secured on a special invitation from world body FINA (International Swimming Federation) extended to athletes from under-represented countries, on Wednesdayspoke about how the criticism had affected him. 

"It has been difficult," he told the Daily Mail. "Too difficult, I don’t know how I feel, but many things. Some of the things people have said or written are not nice. I am a nice person, I would not say these things about others. They have used dirty language against me and called me fat and a big man and a whale," he said.

Habte, who says he is now retiring from Olympic swimming, told Daily Mail that he  had put on weight after a car accident forced him to break from his training schedule. The swimmer, who now weighs 179lb, also said he had expected to finish in last place having never trained in an Olympic-sized pool

Prior to the Olympics Habte’s best time was 59.9 seconds.  According to the Telegraph, "It may be some time before Habte is described as ‘sculpted’ or ‘chiselled’, and he has no plans on competing again, but he will always be an Olympian. For him, Rio was never about the winning, only the taking part

"I am so happy because it is my first competition in the Olympics… I wanted to do something different for my country, that’s why I chose swimming. Everybody, every day you wake up in Ethiopia, you run. Not swimming. But I didn’t want to run; I wanted to be a swimmer."  

Habte, who says he is now retiring from Olympic swimming, told Daily Mail that he  had put on weight after a car accident forced him to break from his training schedule. The swimmer, who now weighs 179lb, also said he had expected to finish in last place having never trained in an Olympic-sized pool
