This was what the students were protesting this afternoon when things went crazy. The peaceful protest turned violent after security officials at the V.C's office tried to stop the students from gaining access to the Vice Chancellor.
The students allegedly retaliated by throwing stones at the security officials, who then called for police back-up which led to the riot. The police arrived the scene and aggravated the situation by firing shots at the students, killing at least one student. Some say two. Some say three.
Angry students now proceeded to burn down the VC's office, the exams and records building, and a security office. Students have been evacuated from the hostel, and the school has been shut down indefinitely.

Nigerians need to be oriented on the virtues of DIALOGUE. Were there no class reps in the dept who could have discussed the issue with the student union and dialogue with the school authority? Why must everything be about demonstration which will end up in violence? Students should understand that they are always the most affected victims in this kind of a situation. As for Nigerian police, they need to be properly organised and changed to a third level higher institution of 4 yrs with an entry examination marked at international level. HUMANITY n SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES should be a major course and not just a 6-9 months training which breeds bunch of nuisance that does not even know the meaning of POLICE. May the souls of the departed rest in peace.
