The Oyo State Police Command on Monday indicted 17 out of the 59 students arrested in connection with the vandalisation of science laboratory equipment worth over N25m at the Christ Apostolic Church Grammar School, Oniyere in Ibadan, the state capital.

This was confirmed at a stakeholders’ meeting which had in attendance the state Commissioner of Police, Johnson Adenola; Special Adviser to the Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Security Matters, Fatal Owoseni; Commissioner of Education, Salihu Adelabu and a host of others at the Eleyele Police Command.

Adenola said the affected students invaded the premises of the school and destroyed the facilities.

He added that out of the 59 students who were arrested, 17 of them had been found culpable of the offences.

“On Thursday, last week, pupils of Government Technical College, Orita Aperin went on the rampage as they invaded the premises of the CAC Grammar School, Orita-Aperin.

“During the attacks, several vehicles were destroyed while the science laboratory blocks with equipment worth several millions of naira were vandalised.

“Also, some people received matchet cuts during the attacks. This, we found quite unacceptable. This situation was brought under control with the support of the local security and the authorities of the affected schools.

“I interviewed these children on Saturday and the revelation was stunning. I was surprised at the level of decadence in the public schools in the state.”
