The management of Fidei Polytechnic, Gboko in Benue state today shut
down the school indefinitely following a violent protest by some
students.
According to eyewitnesses, there was tension in the
school yesterday after the school management disallowed some students
who had paid their school fees but had not collected their school
receipts to write their exams which started on August 23rd.
The
appeal by the students did not move the management who were adamant as
they had given the students enough time to do all the necessary
registration before the commencement of their semester examination.
Out
of frustration, some of the students took laws into their hands by
breaking some of the school properties. The policemen that were invited
to maintain law and order were attacked by the irate students.
