Students of Anambra State university (ANSU) started a violent riot today following the announcement of a hike in school fees to N86,000. The hike was initiated by the governor, Peter Obi (APGA).

ANSU was one of the southeast universities that resumed activities about three months ago, after about half a year of striking due to the unwillingness of the state government to follow the Federal bursary plan.

Several students fainted when policemen fired tear gas into the crowds.
