According to reports it all started after the students waged a peaceful protest earlier yesterday to
complain about the transportation problem they were having at the
school.
The University Management had decided that students who want to board the school bus from Main camp to Permanent site for lectures had to pay N100 daily before using the school bus that was free.
On arrival at the Vice Chancellor's office, the security officials tried to stop them from gaining access to the Vice Chancellor, the students therefore retaliated by throwing stones at the security officials and blocked Ikot Ekpene road .
The security officials had no option but to call for back-up. The police who were supposed to come and calm the situation fired shots at the students, allegedly killed one, injured three.
The supposed victim has been identified as Kingsley a 200 level student of the department of zoology . The students destroyed school properties, set the office of the V.C, the school’s main gate and a hostel.
The rampage went on for hours. The school has been closed down till further notice
