The first group of seven Ambrose Alli University (AAU) students, who were recently arrested by the police in connection with a protest in Ekpoma, have been released into the custody of the Edo State Commissioner for Education.
Authorities confirmed that the students were handed over following discussions aimed at resolving the matter and ensuring their safety. The release is seen as a step toward de-escalating tensions and addressing concerns about the involvement of students in the recent unrest.
The Commissioner for Education is expected to provide guidance and oversight for the students while the investigation continues, ensuring that their rights are protected and that they are properly counseled.
This development comes amid ongoing debates about protests, security, and student involvement in civic actions in Edo State, with stakeholders calling for dialogue and peaceful means of expressing grievances.
Further updates are expected as authorities continue to investigate the full circumstances surrounding the protest and the roles of those involved.
