According to Punch News , the incident happened on Saturday, January 21, 2017 while the students were playing a game a football.
The policemen stormed the venue where the victims were engaging themselves in the sporting activity screaming 'Yahoo boys' , then subsequently shooting in quick succession at them.
Saheed Afolabi , the Coordinator of the
National Association of Nigerian Students, South West confirmed the news according to Punch.

The incident has caused widespread protest in Oke Baale where the shooting occurred.
