SOME students were injured while a number of vehicles were vandalised when students of Government College, Ibadan (GCI) and Apata Community Grammar School engaged one another in a clash in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Thursday.
As a result, commercial and academic activities were paralysed for some minutes at the schools and in the , Apata-Ganga area of the state capital.
Trouble started on Wednesday, when some students from both schools went to engage in gambling, during which a student from Apata Community Grammar School, simply identified as “Idan,” was alleged to have manipulated the game.
On Thursday, some of the students of Government College who lost their money to Idan the previous day, stormed the premises of the Apata Community Grammar School and beat up the boy. This led to a free-for-all fight
Sources said the GCI boys were overpowered and fled to mobilise their mates, who laid an ambush for the students of the Apata Community Grammar School during the closing hour.
When contacted, the state police command said no vehicle was vandalised, adding that it was only a mere argument among the students.
