Armed men have once again struck student hostels at the Ibogun campus of Olabisi Onabanjo University in Ogun State, leaving several students traumatised and valuables stolen in the early hours of Friday.

The attackers, said to be about seven in number, reportedly stormed the hostels between 1am and 3am, firing shots into the air as they forced students to surrender their belongings.

During the invasion, the suspects allegedly robbed at least 15 students, taking mobile phones and other personal items. They also escaped with a black Lexus ES 350 belonging to one of the victims.

This latest incident marks the second time in under two weeks that the campus community has experienced a similar armed robbery attack, raising fresh concerns over security in the area.

Student leaders say the repeated raids have created fear among residents, who believe the absence of a strong security presence has left them exposed. They also expressed frustration that earlier promises of improved security, including a possible police post in the area, have yet to materialise.

According to student representatives, police arrived after the attackers had already fled, making it impossible to prevent the losses.

Authorities at the Ogun State Police Command confirmed they are aware of the incident and have begun an investigation. The command added that efforts are ongoing to gather details and respond appropriately.

Meanwhile, students and residents are calling on state authorities to strengthen security around the campus to prevent further attacks and restore confidence in the area.
