A conflict between students of the Federal Polytechnic Bida and Indigenes of Bida culminated in the death of multiple people while several were injured and are currently receiving treatment in the hospital. According to reports, the clash was started by a conflict between a commercial river and students of Bida poly who boarded his vehicle and it soon escalated to become a communal clash. The students reportedly boarded a commercial bus from Minna to Bida on Saturday and agreed with the driver to take them straight to the campus.

But when they got to Bida, the driver took them to the park and ended the journey, informing them that that is normally the final bus stop. The students, who had paid to be taken to the campus, went to the garage officials to lay their complaints but they were ignored.The students returned to the garage on Sunday with some of the Students Union officials to lay their complaints but they were beaten up by some boys in the garage.
The students then returned to the campus, mobilized themselves and went back to Esso Motor Park in Bida to fight. Multiple students were killed in the clash. A lecturer of Bida Polytechnic was also killed according to reports. A driver believed to be an indigene was also killed and this led to a full-blown communal clash between indigenes and students. Efforts by the vigilante and the police to quell the crisis proved abortive. During the clash which lasted for hours, some shops were said to have been destroyed and vehicles had their windscreens smashed. A motorcycle was also burnt to ashes.

Who is leading or winning in the fight?

Hardship in d country making people lose their sanity.

Arghh! This is seriously serious

If this menace was curbed immediately by the garage officials, am sure the students anger will be appeased thus erasing this unnecessary killing

What a country!

dahm
violence where will it lead us to in Nigeria

What kind of a country is this? What kind of Bad luck did this lifeless Buhari bestowed on this country? I blame everything on him

Nawa



This country needs cleansing

Indigenes will always have the upper hand in this sort of clashes. I pity the innocent students that will surfer. The cheifs and traditional rulers of those communities close to the school should be contacted because those indigenes have the perfect pretext to loot and steal.

Quite unfortunate

A lot of things happened yesterday that could have been avoided. Knowing the people of Bida, and the students of that school, I really hope the last has been heard of this.

No matter the level of hardship we shouldn't lose our sanity and start killing each other over trivial things like this.

A driver failing to convey students to their school campus shouldn't degenerate to a point where people start killing themselves.

The students & the members of the community are fools.

I don't know why we don't set our priorities right, we fight for things we shouldn't fight for while we act unconcerned over things we should fight and die for.

This show of violence would have been justified if it was a fight against the Government/Elites who are oppressing our country.

We should learn to fight for the greater good of the country not some unimportant things that won't make our lives better.

Chai! That garage chairman needs to be sanctioned. For peace to reign and safety of life and properties, that's why there is a garage and governing board in the first place. Have been to lots of garages and when you have any complaints, any available leader of that garage will be ready to listen to your complaints. That garage leaders need orientation and re-orientation

@otokx, remember what I said about students and host communities. This is a recurring decimal.

Resentful natives waiting for a chance to unleash on students and rape the females

Misplaced priorities....if education can not liberate these ones from mental slavery what else can. Anyways they should catalog their injuries in their CVs. Smh!

Who is winning
Am sure indigene won't allow student to win

What did they gain? Nothing right? Ndi Ara..

Oya nau! Give boys load down gist of how the kasala take happen na. #NoDull
