pendusky: I Just got a call that there's a Riot Going on now in Uniuyo Main Campus!

Can Any one Confirm?

(As at 6pm) At last i jst received a call from a friend, what i heard is that the social science students are protesting for school mgt shifting most of their courses to permanent sites which is about 20mins drive from the main campus yet school buses are not available for them. That means they need to pay extra 200 naira to and fro everyday to the permanent campus for most of their lectures.

Am told VC office has been burned down, police throwing teargas and two student killed...

That very true

Will update the post as i get the latest development.

You guys should stop giving fake news
The reason for the riot is the increase of bus fair from 50NGN to 100NGN from town camp at ikpa road to main camp off nwaniba for engeneering and science students. whc will amount to 200NGN per day and its too much dats y we protested n stoped lectures for today and behold the police who were calm at first started throwing 'tear' gas...dats the story, death have not been confirmed yet.

I have heard lots of things about that VC of a woman. Many thought things will 'improve' because she's a woman, but the reverse has been the case so far. There something 'sinister' about women in power. I.e Magereth Thatcher

Saw guyz looting stuffs from the VC's office including rugs and computers. Left some minutes ago with the aid of Victory Chapel's bus. Couldnt finish packing, just took my credentials and some change of clothes. Its really terrible.
Re: Riot In University of Uyo: Can Any One Confirm? by Inik(m): 7:52pm On Jun 12, 2013
From what i gathered the riot began as a protest by engineering students protesting against the monetization of the school bus shuttle. The school moved the engineering faculty and the faculty of sciences from the town campus to the permanent site at Nsukara offot. The distance between the two locations is very far. Before now the school provides buses that shuttles between the two campuses of the university and the bus service is free for all students. Now this morning the students woke up to the announcement that a fee of 100 naira has been fixed for the bus services. This angered the students and they came out for a peaceful protest.
The authorities of the school brought in policemen to break up the protest. Now we all know how our Nigerian policemen always use disproportionate force against unarmed protesters especially students, so they started firing teargas from their cannisters, this led to the students turning violent and they started hurling whatever objects they could lay their hands on at the police and blocked all the entrances and exits locations in the school, this led to the escalation of the crises. The police fired live ammunition at the students.
Now the office of the Vc has been burned down, nearby buildings have been burned down, the school gate has been burned down and at least one student has been killed. The school has been closed down indefinitely.

ITbomb: One down
I heard that the School has been closed indefinitely
When will police stop shooting at students
Where is Ombatse when u need them

1. I heard one down.
2. Yes, school (UNIUYO) has been closed until the issue on ground is resolved.
3. Police will never stop shooting sporadically because none of them went to school. They were recruited with Primary 6.
4. I havent come across that name "Ombatse" but believe me, things had changed in Nigeria, it have teyd.

Common peaceful protest, police were invited into the matter, and that not enough, they started showing their talent with guns and teargas. Is that how NPF train their recruits? Am happy the VC's office is burnt down. That serves as a warning to her to desist from fighting her own students. I heard she has no issue, that may be the reason why she behaves "strong-head". Good for her. She should be thanking her stars she was not burnt too. Government will fix her office, and dont be surprised that the FG will release trillions of Naira for renovation of VC's office, whereas such amount would have catered for Diesel to fuel the school bus to convey students to permanent site for lectures.

If you cant fight a war to its end, never start it.
