But Dr Abiodun Ojo, the Provost, Tai Solarin College of Education (TASCE), Omu, Ijebu, on Friday confirmed that only one student lost his life during a recent protest by the students.

The Command's spokesperson, Mr Muyiwa Adejobi, said in Abeokuta on Friday that the protest took place and ended with no life lost.

The leaders of the institution's students union had on Friday alleged at the state's House of Assembly that police killed five of their colleagues during the protest.

Adejobi however said "the Command was taken aback to hear such a disgusting rumour.
.
"We hereby reiterate that no single student was killed by the police during the protest.

"The allegations by the students at the House of Assembly were just to appeal to sentiment and for other reasons known to them.''

He said the Police Command was therefore appealing to the general public to disregard the allegations.
.
"It is an unfounded and baseless rumour and a calculated attempt to create tension in the state,'' the Police PRO said.
