In the frenzy, the students had shut shops in some of the school halls of residence and others within the school, insisting on a drastic slash in prices of food items.
The protest had started on  Sunday after one of the student leaders in Mariere Hall, named Seun Lari-Williams, refused to pay N110 for one pack of noodle, and N10 for a sachet of water.
It was learnt that the food seller had refused to reduce the price which made Lari-williams to mobilise students in the hall to embark on a protest against unfair price of goods in the school.
A final student of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Timothy Quadri, said, “The protest started on Sunday at Mariere Hall. It was the President of the Law Students Society, Seun Lari-Williams, who wanted to buy noodle (hungry man size), and he was told it was N110. But he disagreed with the lady at the counter, saying the price was N100 outside the campus. Later, he decided to get the N10 balance from his room.
“But by the time he returned, the lady had decided that she would not sell for him again, which started a quarrel.
“Angry Lari-Williams quickly summoned fellow students in the hall who came down to shut the shop and started a protest against unfair price of goods on the campus.”
Another student from the Department of Mass Communication, Adeola Scott, said the protest had been peaceful.
She said, “It has been peaceful. On Sunday, the students moved round Mariere and Jaja, and on Monday, they moved shut all the shops in Science, Engineering and New Hall. They were joined by the deputy dean of students’ affairs who monitored the students to ensure it was peaceful.”

OSHIOMOLE BANS OKADA IN BENIN CITY

The Governor, who announced the ban to newsmen on Tuesday afternoon after the weekly security meeting, said the ban is limited to the three local Government areas which make up Benin City including Ikpoba Okha, Oredo and Egor Local Government Areas.

Governor Oshiomhole said it is now increasingly evident that many of the kidnappers in the state are Okada riders.

He said that the state has become a haven for criminals and other Okada riders who migrated to Edo State following similar ban in other states.

He advised residents of the state to properly scrutinize those they employ as helps and security personnel.
