Ekiti State University Shutdown Till Further Notice by Nkonadi(m): 10:48am On Oct 02, 2012 |
An innocuous auto accident which occurred last Wednesday at the Ekiti State University (EKSU) escalated into a full blown violence two days after, which led to the total crippling of the university, and eventually led to the indefinite closure of the institution. The rampaging students completely razed five cars, one Toyota bus, the institution’s security van, a motorcycle; damaged the institution’s ambulance and vandalised five other cars. The students also did not spare buildings as they smashed windows of almost all the buildings on the university campus. In the confusion, students also looted the institution’s Teaching and Research Farm on the campus, carting away 3,500 chickens, 75 sheep and rams; 30 pigs,25 rabbits, 10 goats and 120 crates of eggs. The EKSU officials on the farm lamented that the students tore the bags of feeds on the farm, spilled thecontents and used the bags to cart away their loot. Students of the institution told newsmen on Saturday that an accident injured a student, and that had triggered them to this action. This is really a sad news and we wonder what have resulted to this mass reaction from the students. We will update more as soon as we are better informed. |

The effect of this egregious reaction of the unruly and barbaric students would be grossly calamatious. This shudnt be under an ideal setting. Students of a univ shud have a way of registering their grievances instead of destroying buildings,cars and equipment that are worth millions of naira. Anyway, all d students of the skul will bear the brunt. |
