Dolapo Olusesi, a 300 Law student of the University of Lagos, has
reportedly been arrested and detained by the police after a lecturer in
the school, Dr Karo Ogbinaka, reported him to the police for posting a
caricature photo of him on Facebook. A student of the school and friend
of Dolapo, Olatunji Oluwadamilare, shared the story on Facebook. He
wrote;
"Fellow Akokites, the reality is upon us. At about 6:40pm today the 11th
of May, a fellow Akokite was arrested. His crime? He reposted a picture
on his Facebook page of the deputy Dean 2 of the Students Affairs
Division in person of Dr Karo Ogbinaka. Dr Karo made complaints to the
Alpha base that he found the picture to be a threat to his life and
therefore he should be arrested. Fellow Akokites, we are writing exams
and our brother is at the moment in police custody for reposting a
picture on his Facebook page.
Our school authority are now demi gods that should be constantly
revered. All attempts to bail Dolapo Olusesi has proven futile as the
policemen claim they have been asked by the school management not to
release him to serve as a lesson to others. A call put through to the
DSA has proven futile as the DSA has asked that he be left there. Dolapo
Olusesi is a 300 Law student. Dolapo needs to read for exams. Dolapo is
at the moment in a cell. We call for the immediate release of a fellow
learning colleague as this is an abysmal act on the part of the school
authority.
