Clash Between Fed Poly Bida Student And Indigene by tkshittu1: 7:14am On Sep 03, 2018 |
THE CLASH BETWEEN FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC
BIDA'S STUDENTS AND THE NURTW
Students of the Federal Polytechnic Bida
went on rampage within Bida township on
Sunday destroying shops and beating up
people due to misunderstanding with
commercial drivers in the town.
It was gathered that some students
boarded a commercial bus from Minna to
Bida on Saturday and paid the driver to take
them to the Polytechnic, but the driver
reneged on the agreement and dropped
them at the park.
All efforts to lay their complainants proved
abortive as they were said to have been
ignored by all the drivers in the park.
It was gathered that the students returned
on Sunday morning with some of the
Students Union Government officials but
they were beaten by some boys in the
garage who outnumbered them.
The Institution’s Public Relations Officer
(PRO), Husseini Enagi, who confirmed the
incident to newsmen said the students
returned back to campus, remobilized
themselves and went back to town on
rampage
“Our students said they were cheated by a
driver and all means to lay their
complainants were not entertained, rather,
they were beaten up when they went with
some SUG officials. Majority of them were
injured. I do not have the exact number
now.
“With this development, they went back to
school and mobilized themselves and went
on rampage in town. We have received
reports that they started looting shops and
beating people around. However, we are yet
to get in touch with the SUG officials
because everywhere is tensed now. “
A resident in Bida, Mr. Samuel Isah also
disclosed that some youths in the town had
also mobilized themselves and were
attacking residents of students in town
adding that most of the students have taken
refuge inside the school campus.
A student, Deborah Amos, who spoke to
newsmen on phone said that there have
been shootings and throwing of tear gas by
security agents in their bid to calm the
situation. “As I am speaking with you now,
they just sprayed tear gas. We are all in the
school premises, we are seeing smoke and
hearing shootings but we cannot go
outside the school. “
The Niger state Command Public Relations
Officer, Abubakar Muhammad, said the
Police is on top of situation.
As at the time of filing this report, the
number of injured students and looted
shops cannot be ascertained. |
