King’s College crisis deepens over alleged police assault

A fresh crisis has erupted at King’s College, Lagos, after the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) accused the police and members of the King’s College Old Boys Association (KCOBA) of invading the school and assaulting workers and parents. The incident, which occurred on September 15, 2026, involved armed policemen forcibly opening the school gates, firing gunshots into the air, and arresting a child of a protesting parent. ASCSN condemned this violent invasion, which took place amid ongoing discussions regarding the proposed concession of the historic institution.
