The Chief Magistrate, Taiwo Oladiran, in his ruling, observed that the students were all minors and as such should be remanded at Agugu Police Station instead of a correctional centre.

The offences, he said contravened Sections 360 and 517 of the Criminal Code Cap 38, Vol. II, Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
