Thugs on Tuesday afternoon invaded the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso and beat up staff of the university who are Osun State indigenes.
The thugs, invaded the office of the bursar but he was lucky to have been rescued by policemen who were drafted to control the fracas.
Sources told Newspeakonline that the thugs may have been sponsored by socio-cultural group, Ogbomoso Parapo. The group have in the past weeks launched protests calling for the severence of the Oyo and Osun joint ownership of the 26-year-old institution.
It was gathered that the thugs, while lanching the attack on the staff members, told them to go back to their state as Osun state was no longer needed as part of the institution.
