The Kwara State Polytechnic has announced that normalcy has been restored on campus and its surroundings following a brief protest by a few students. The incident started with reports of security operatives conducting official duties in the nearby Agbede village, causing concern among some students. However, no arrests of students were made during the security operation.

A small number of students expressed their displeasure by burning tyres along a section of the Old Jebba Road early this morning. The combined security agencies and the Polytechnic's own security personnel intervened swiftly and professionally, containing the situation promptly and without escalation.

The Management assures the public that normalcy has been completely restored, with students scheduled for morning examinations checked in by their invigilators and exams ongoing as planned. The Management commends the security agencies and the internal security team for their rapid response and professionalism in handling the situation.

The Polytechnic appreciates the majority of students who remained calm and law-abiding. The general public, especially commuters plying the Old Jebba Road, are urged to go about their normal businesses without fear or panic, as the road is clear and safe for travel. The Polytechnic remains committed to the safety, welfare, and academic progress of all its students and staff.
