Some of the affected students seen protesting
Vice Chancellor of Osun State University, Odunayo Adebooye, has called for the trial and summary dismissal of the soldiers who allegedly attacked students at privately owned hostels in Osogbo, the state capital.
Adebooye, a professor, who made the call while speaking with Channels Television on Wednesday, alleged that female students were touched inappropriately by the errant soldiers, whom he said were recruits.\
The VC said that the attackers also made away mobile phones.
He also said that it was not true that the soldiers attacked the students for wearing military camouflage, adding that the recruits were not fit to be in the Nigerian Army.
Adebooye, however, said that eight of the soldiers had been arrested. (Channels TV)
