http://newtelegraphonline.com/students-sack-osbc-beat-workers/

Students of public secondary schools yesterday allegedly attacked workers of the Osun State Broadcasting Corporation, Orisun FM radio station at Ile-Ife. 

Their grouse was the alleged refusal of government to offset their external examination fees.
The students, who stormed the premises of the station in their hundreds, pelted the Station Manager, Adeoye Bakare, with stones.
They also vandalised about nine vehicles, among them three official vehicles and one Toyota Camry belonging to an official of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) who was at the station for a programme. They also pulled out the gate of the station.
The students also attacked security men at the gate and molested other staff of the station. Armed with dangerous weapons like machetes, broken bottles, and clubs, the students, most of who were in Senior Secondary School (SSS) 3, laid siege to the station located at Oke- Itase at 9a.m.
