ERELU-BISI-FAYEMI — Ekiti First Lady, Erelu Bisi Fayemi

Nigerians have taken to social media to demand justice for two students allegedly killed by the police during a protest at the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), over poor power supply.

The protest was said to have turned violent after police officers assigned to the wife of Ekiti State governor, Bisi Fayemi, shot into the crowd of the protesting students.

The students who were killed are Oluwaseyi Kehinde, a 100 level student of Crop Science and Horticulture, and Joseph Okonofua, a 300 level students of Biology Education. Other students who were injured in the fracas are still receiving treatment at the hospital.

Below are the twitter reactions:

In the words of a Sage, Murderous Impunity is what you get when an unconstituted authority roams around the state killing students and grandstanding as though above the law of the land. Winnie Mandela went down for less. This won’t go away. #EndImpunity #JusticeForFUOYE https://t.co/xzCAFGGPO4

How many First Ladies have you seen in an imperious prance aimlessly taking tours in Nigeria? Are you the Governor? Whose example are you following when the First Lady of the country humbles herself? Now you add murder of citizens to that & still grandstands?! ? #JusticeForFUOYE

Nigeria Police Force is supposed to protect the people but reverse is the case. Innocent students are their targets. The police officers must be brought to book.#JusticeForFuoye #Fuoye pic.twitter.com/6p51ZfrkbR

Often times we have been forsaken by the Government who sees the future of Nigerian students as jeopardy, claiming we are the futures of tmrw, but plans to take away our tmrw, leaving us with just the future. We want our future, we want our tomorrow Secured. #JusticeForFUOYE pic.twitter.com/3m8sMntAZ3

I still can't believe some of you are bold enough to try justify the killing of innocent students by the Police officers attached to the First Lady of Ekiti state. If the media can be bought, at least I expect individuals to have some conscience. #JusticeForFUOYE

Kindly report this inhumane handle for spreading falsehood in the bid to cover up the murder of innocent unarmed students, peacefully protesting the failure of Government in providing electricity for their campus. Do this if you value human lives. #EndImpunity #JusticeForFUOYE https://t.co/iGoOlQQerK

There's no excuse @bisiafayemi wants to give to justify herself. You saw the Nigeria Police officers shooting before entering into your convoy. Yet, you left the scene. So that they can kill as many as they can right? That's wickedness woman!#FUOYE #JusticeForFUOYE @Segalink

While roaming aimlessly in a convoy your security men gunned down peaceful protesters and now you turned around deviously within the same rhythm of evil to play the victim? ? #ShadesOfEvil #FixSociety #JusticeForFUOYE
