Hundreds of protesting students of D S Adegbenro Polytechnic, Itori, Ogun State have booked the Lagos-Abeokuta  Expressway.

Both sides of the expressway as well as the school gate were barricaded by the rampaging students who refused to allow students and staff, access into the campus.

The protest has led to traffic gridlock leaving many commuters stranded.

A source said that only those who came into the school premises much earlier in the day were found inside the campus.

The students complained that the school authorities prevented some of their colleagues who did not record up to 75% attendance from writing exams on Tuesday.

Yinka Adegbite, the school Public Relations Officer confirmed the incident to The Punch but also reported that the school management is already making efforts to resolve the matter.

The students are said to have rebuffed attempts by the school Rector to appeal to them.
