A female student of the Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has narrated her traumatic experience after soldiers allegedly invaded a private student hostel and assaulted residents during a violent operation in Osogbo, Osun State.
The student, who requested anonymity, alleged that one of the soldiers forcefully pinned her against a bathroom door and physically assaulted her despite identifying herself as a student.
According to her account, the soldiers stormed the hostel without warning, forcing their way into rooms while students scrambled for safety. She said the atmosphere quickly descended into chaos as residents screamed and attempted to escape the unfolding violence.
Recounting the incident, the student said she had rushed into a bathroom in an attempt to protect herself when a soldier allegedly forced the door open, pinned her against it and assaulted her. She described the experience as terrifying, saying she feared for her life throughout the encounter.
The alleged assault has sparked widespread outrage among students and members of the public, with
many demanding a thorough investigation into the actions of the soldiers involved.The incident reportedly followed a confrontation involving military personnel and students, although authorities have yet to release a full account of what led to the operation. Students have questioned the level of force used during the invasion, insisting that those responsible should be held accountable.
Student leaders and civil society groups have also condemned the alleged abuse, calling for justice for victims and stronger protection for students living in off-campus accommodation.
As of the time of filing this report, neither the military authorities nor the university management had issued a detailed response to the student’s specific allegation. However, calls continue to mount for an independent investigation into the incident and appropriate disciplinary action if the claims are substantiated.
The incident has renewed concerns over the use of force by security personnel in civilian environments and the need to uphold the rights and dignity of citizens during security operations.
