It was gathered that the soldiers who had earlier dismantled the barricade created by the students on the road at Moro area, Osun State, were later confronted by the mass of students who had retreated but regrouped in their numbers.
Chanting solidarity songs, they said “we no go gree, we no go gree”, and “Go back, No way” to the soldiers who had seemed helpless at that point in time.

The Public Relations Officer of the Union, Ogunperi Taofeek, also said, “The students of OAU again took to the streets today to protest the lingering ASUU strike.
“About 2:30 pm, some of the barricades mounted were broken by men of the Nigerian Army. However, we resisted them at the last barricade, holding them there until the fixed time for our protest lapsed.”
Ogunperi Taofeek noted that the protest would continue on Monday.
“The protest will continue on Monday, May 23, 2022,” he told The PUNCH.
