by Azeez Adeniyi

The management of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) on Tuesday said 13 students remanded in KiriKiri Prisons are not students of the institution.

The students had been arrested and remanded in prison for protesting against the rustication of a blind student by the institution.

They were arraigned before a Mobile Court which had remanded them in prison pending the hearing of their bail application slated for April 6.
