Tension erupted among students at Adekunle Ajasin University as a disagreement between faculties led to a brief altercation during the ongoing AAUASU election process.
The situation reportedly began after the accreditation of voters was moved from the CBT centre to the university’s Multipurpose Hall (OBJ), prompting confusion among students who had earlier been instructed to proceed directly to the voting centre.
Some students alleged that the sudden change in procedure was deliberate and intended to frustrate voters.
“They are voting at the CBT while they asked us to move to OBJ to collect tally,” a student said during the incident.
Another student, a 300-level undergraduate, complained that certain faculty members were being restricted from entering the hall. “They are not allowing our faculty to enter,” the student said.
I am very disappointed, the system is messed up. They need to do better in the school. Why are you moving us up and down? Or should we start using the balloting system? Bring back polling unit according to department, a 400level law student says
However, Kingsley, who was assisting security officials at the venue, dismissed the claim, stating that students from all faculties were allowed entry as long as they used the designated entrance and presented proof of accreditation.
“All faculties are inside. You will be allowed as far as you come in through the first door and you have your accreditation evidence, which is your school fees receipt,” he explained.
