Oloyede further urged the government to do more in securing the lives and property of citizens by providing necessary facilities that would make the job of security operatives easier.
He said, “We are appealing to the government and security agencies to ensure the student is released within 72 hours, or we will shut down the state with another protest.
“The federal and state government should provide more facilities and equipment for security agencies.”
It would be recalled that Olayinka, a 400 level student of Aquaculture and Fisheries Management, was abducted at Abule-Itoko in the Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State on Saturday.
The abductors were said to have demanded N50 million ransom.
