HELL was let loose, yesterday, following protest by the students of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko  of Ondo State over the death of their colleague, Daniel Afolabi

The deceased was reportedly knocked down by a vehicle.

Sunday Vanguard gathered that Daniel was a 200-level student in the Department of Economic Education of the institution.

He was knocked down on the Owo-Ikare Expressway on Friday night and died while he was being rushed to hospital.

The death of Daniel sparked off protest as the students blamed the school authority for not providing adequate facilities in the school ambulance.

The angry students who barricaded the Ikare-Owo Expressway prevented  movement on the highway, thereby causing traffic gridlock for several hours.

Bonfires were also made by the protesting students on the expressway

The spokesperson for the university, Sola Imoru, denied that the students were protesting against the school management.

Imoru told Sunday Vanguard that they were protesting against the killing of their colleague who was knocked down by a reckless driver.
