The Edo State Government on Wednesady said that 38 students of the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, arrested over last weekend’s protest in the area will be released.
The Commissioner for Education, Paddy Iyamu, who disclosed this to Channels Television on The Morning Brief on Wednesday, said while some were released on Tuesday, others would regain freedom on Wednesday.
He noted that the masterminds of the unrest living outside Edo fomented trouble, leading to the destruction of properties.
According to him, some items were stolen from the palace of the monarch in the area.
Iyamu, however, said that following the return to normalcy in the area, the government has approved the resumption of academic activities.
