Ebonyi Varsity Shut Over Killing Of 7 Protesting Students By Police by Nobody: 11:50am On Apr 23, 2012 |
http://www.blueprintng.com/?p=19391 Over seven students of the Ebonyi state University are allegedly feared dead and over were 30 seriously injured when anti-riot policemen opened fire on students who were protesting over scarcity of water in the Presco Campus of the university for over three months last Friday, in Abakaliki, the state capital. A source, who does not want to be named, told Blueprint that police not only killed over seven students, saying: “ As I am talking to you over 50 students are being detained by the state police command on the orders of the governor; and over 30 were seriously wounded.” The source recalled that two weeks ago, the students at the main campus of the university had protested over scarcity of water in the campus, and total black out with government promising Heavens, but to no avail. Blueprint gathered that students at about 5.30am last Friday started shouting “there will be no lecture today,” “enough is enough.” A student source hinted that between 7am and 8am, students gathered carrying lanterns on their heads shouting, “we are not going to take exam because nobody will pass; no more lectures until we can bathe; there is no water in the campus, enough is enough,” the source said. Continuing, the source said that as a result of the death of the students, the management of the university had directed students to vacate the three campuses of the university within 24 hours pending the determination of the damages. When the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. John Elu, was contacted on telephone he declined comment as text messages and calls put to his cell phone were not returned. |
