Students In Police Net After Beating Colleague Over Boyfriend

Some female students from the Ogun State Institute of Technology, Igbesa, formerly Gateway Polytechnic, Igbesa, are in police net after allegedly beating a colleague over allegations of boyfriend snatching.

In a viral video posted by TMC News @Dephills on the X platform on Wednesday, the students were seen flogging the victim with long, thick canes.

The students alleged that their mothers were aware of their actions and said they do not care about who the victim reported to after the beating.

The victim suffered visible injuries on her back and head.

Although some students tried to intervene, pleading with one of the attackers, identified as Lolade, to stop the assault, she refused, insisting that the beating was intended to teach the victim a lesson.

The Ogun State Police Command, while reacting to the video, said it has launched an investigation.

In a post on X on Wednesday, the command confirmed that the Igbesa Divisional Police Officer has taken over the case.

“The Ogun State Police Command is on top of the situation, and the DPO Igbesa has taken charge of the case,” the post read.

Giving an update, @Dephills disclosed that all the students involved in the assault has been arrested by the police.

“All the ladies involved in the assault are all presently in police custody,” the post said.
