A statement by Head, Public Relations and Protocol of MAPOLY, Mr. Yemi Ajibola, said the deputy governor said she was on her way to Alamala for Armed Forces Remembrance Day when the security details saw the crowd and told her driver to make a detour, which the driver did without any ado.

She added that she returned to her residence to allow the crowd to pass and later went to where she was going on behalf of the Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun.

She said, “If I had been attacked, I would not have gone to attend the program at Alamala, but I went when I was told they had gone.”

“I just want all of us to be careful of social media, as it has caused many people calling me to ask after me on reading or hearing the news.,” Salako-Oyedele said.

She advised the students to always dialogue and be peaceful in handling issues.

Earlier, the rector, Arc Jolaoso, said the management came to apologise on behalf of the students and wanted her to forgive them as a mother.

“We came on behalf of the Governing Council, management staff, and students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, to apologise for what happened yesterday and the embarrassment it might have caused you.”

The delegation included the Deputy Rector, Dr. Mrs Yetunde Lanre-Iyanda; Registrar, Mrs Olubunmi Elewodalu; Polytechnic Librarian, Alhaja Basirat Akintunde; Bursar, Mrs Folasade Madariola, FCA; the Chairmen and Secretary of the three Staff Unions on Campus; and the PAR in the Registrar’s office, Mrs Feyisola Ayeni.
