The management of Television Continental has denied that the students of the University of Lagos who were on its premises for a protest on Friday were violent.
Rather, the TVC management said the 13 students, who were on Saturday remanded in Kirikiri Prisons over unlawful invasion of the television facility at Ikosi, Lagos State, were peaceful and orderly.
Recall that the 13 students were arraigned before a mobile court for disorderliness and violent conduct on Saturday.
The police had accused them of disorderliness and violent conduct.
But the Legal Manager of TVC, Abisola Agbaje, said in a statement on Sunday: “The Management of Continental Broadcasting Service Limited (owners of TVC) refutes these stories and categorically states that TVC has no hand in the arrest of the students.
“TVC did not at any point report or lodge any complaint at the police station.
“Truly, the Students came into our premises on Friday the 31st of March, 2017 on or about 3pm to protest the ‘alleged rustication by UNILAG’.
“The protest was peaceful which we have on record and the students left our premises peacefully.”
