Students of D.S. Adegbenro Polytechnic, Itori, Ogun State, on Tuesday staged a protest by blocking the Itori-Ewekoro section of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway following the killing of one of their colleagues by suspected armed robbers.\
The demonstration came after gunmen reportedly invaded a student hostel in the Eruku community on Monday night, where they allegedly robbed students of their valuables, killed one student, and left three others with serious injuries.

The protest disrupted traffic along the busy corridor as aggrieved students demanded urgent intervention from the authorities to address the worsening security situation around the institution.
The students expressed frustration over repeated security threats in the area, calling on the government and security agencies to strengthen protection for students and residents and ensure those responsible for the attack are brought to justice.
