Military personnel have dispersed students of various universities in Ondo State who are protesting the prolonged strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
The soldiers were seen in a video which surfaced on social media opening fire to chase the students away from the Ilesha/Akure highway on Tuesday.
The students who were drawn from various institutions in the State had on Monday started the peaceful protest over the attitude of the federal government and ASUU which has resulted to the shutdown of institutions across the country.
It was gathered that the soldiers who were not from the 32 Artillery Brigade in the state were on transit when they were barred from passing through the highway at the Roadblock axis of the road by the protesting students.
According to some of the students who scampered for safety, the soldiers who were coming from the Ilesha end of the road descended on the students and destroyed their belongings.
