The management of Tai Solarin University Of Education (TASUED) has decided to shut down the school over a bloody clash between suspected cultists and the host community which has led to the death of one student.

The development was revealed in a statement signed by the institution’s registrar Mr. Dapo Oke via a Facebook post.

“The management received reports of a bloody clash between some unknown people suspected to be Cultists and the Imaweje community leading to the death of a 300-level student of the University and the burning down of the Palace of the Baale of Imaweje”. The statement reads.

“The Vice-Chancellor has in view of the present situation asked the Security agents to move in to arrest the situation, maintain law and order, and prevent further loss of life and property.

The Management has also considered the need to close down the University immediately to forestall reprisal attacks and prevent further breakdown of law and order in the communities of Ijagun, Abapawa, Ijele, and Imaweje”.

“The Management has therefore announced the closure of the University for two weeks.

An emergency meeting of the Senate is being called for Tuesday, 30th May 2023 to review the situation and take further necessary actions.

The Vice-Chancellor is therefore using this medium to inform members of the Senate of the situation and calling for your understanding of his action on behalf of the Senate”.
