Seven students of the Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo has been ordered arrested by an Ikeja Chief Magistrates' Court for their role in the student's school fees hike protest.
.
The students are Olamide Bolarinwa, 23; Oludare Olayinka, 18; Victoria Oni, 18; Timilehin Fatukasi, 19; Taiwo Ajayi, 24; Taiwo Olatimihan, 20; and Segun Akani, 27.
.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Eniola Fabamwo, who issued the bench warrant also ordered that their sureties be arrested for disobeying court's order.
.
Fabamwo said the court's decision followed the non-appearance of the students and their sureties in court since their arraignment.
.
In his application, the prosecutor, ASP Samson Ekikere, said that the defendants had refused to attend court sittings so as to frustrate the prosecution of the case since they were arraigned on June 4 on a charge of breach of peace.
.
The magistrate however adjourned the case to October 29th for mention.
