Engineering department students of Delta State Polytechnic, Oghara have allegedly detained their course representative over financial exploitation.
The incident occurred after the students accused the course representative of selling a textbook meant to be sold at #3500 at #8500, thereby accumulating a profit of #5000.
According to eyewitness, the students found out that the book was to be sold originally at #3500 by the lecturer while the course representative inflated the price without authorization.
This unauthorized inflation triggered protests among students who claim they were being exploited.

The course representative was reportedly confronted and apprehended by students, pending further action by school authorities.
