University of Nigeria, Nsukka is esperiencing some crisis which is about to escalate to a major destruction.
Since the inauguration of the new Vice Chancellor early last month, the school has not been conducive for the students. This has affected the boys hostels in particular.
Consequently, Power supply and water are the major issues on ground. For one week now, the school have experienced blackout(though generators work sometimes in the night). Water supply has been fluctuating for a while now.
That notwithstanding, amongst the three boys hostels(alvan, eni-njoku, and mbanefo hall), the school authorities have asked the occupants of mbanefo hall to vacate the hall with immediate effect.
However, the crisis initiated saturday night(19th) when post graduate students beat an undergraduate student who has said to have fetched water from their tap mercilessly. According to what Greentalentz blog gathered, that is not the first time such thing has happened. During the world cup finals, it was reported that the said post graduate students beat another undergraduate student for watching the match with them.
All these accumulated grievances have surfaced yesterday night when the undergraduate students started their revolution. Some of the students entered inside the school for protest while the rest stayed back to fight the post graduate students. They broke their cars, hostel glasses, hostel gate amongst others, while the students that went inside the school ended up in shutting down all the power generators in school.
The school security tried to intervene, but the student's forces outwitted theirs.
This crisis is still ongoing this morning as the undergraduate students are still agitating to do more.
Currently the army from Nsukka barracks have arrived school to calm the situation.
Stay tuned
