Aggrieved students of The Polytechnic Ibadan on Thursday protested the brutal stabbing of Sports Director of the Faculty of Engineering, Comrade Tobi Oyeniyi during a football match held at the Sports Pavilion, North Campus on Wednesday, April 3rd.

Comrade Oyeniyi, a Higher National Diploma (HND) student was reportedly stabbed in the head, while one other student was also injured shortly after Faculty of Engineering (FENG) Queens lost a football match to students from the Faculty of Business and Communications Studies FBCS Queens on Wednesday.

According to multiple reports, the protesting students sand solidarity songs and carried placards calling for justice.

WuzupNaija gathered that one of the protesting students who narrated the ugly incident said

“Oyeniyi’s shirt was drenched in his blood after being stabbed in the head”.

“The awful scenario began with the culprits intimidating the Feng Queens Team after the match, and as the sports director and head coach of the faculty team, he had to come to the rescue of his players.

“During the match, despite that, we were losing with two goals to nil, we were still joking around and maintaining a mutual rapport with the opposite team from FBCS. But then, the culprits started with the throwing of sachet water into our midst to erupt violence, but we still maintained our calmness.

“But after the match, they came harassing the females and that was where some students from engineering interceded. The other student, whose whereabouts is still unknown, was beaten brutally.

“Oyeniyi was stabbed in the head in the process. One senator came to his rescue and that was when he was rushed to the Medical Centre for treatment.”

He added, “I didn’t see the need why FBCS would attack them because they won them already and that the perpetrator of the heinous act was not the opposite team from the FBCS following the chants they made after perpetrating it.”
