Exclusive Photos: Bowen University Students' Riot Gets School Closed

The management of Bowen University this morning closed the school indefinitely following students' protest last night.. All male and female hostels has been destroyed. The Hall assistants, Hall administrators, Securities and Staffs fled and cars were damaged. Also, the Shopping complex was invaded and faculties and departments were destroyed. This was caused due to lack of water, light, introduction of food timetable and imposition of plastics. Some students spoke to us.


A 300 level Student said “During the tenure of the former Vice Chancellor, Prof. Olagbemiro there was always light between 6am-10am, 1pm-3pm and 6pm-11:30pm but everything changed wen he came in; there is now light from 6:30am-8am and 7:45pm-11:00pm, compare and contrast bro”... Continues after the jump:
Another student said” Before we can eat in the cafeteria anytime before or after lecture but he came and introduced food timetable- Breakfast* 7am-9am, Lunch* 12pm-3pm and Supper* 6pm-8:45pm, as if we are babies. how do you expect me to wake up and go to the cafeteria when I have morning
class, I can’t eat after lectures and I will have to wait till night if I have 8am-6pm lecture nefore I eat. It is senseless”.

We were informed that the female hostels were invaded by the male students who ordered them to come out but none was harrassed. It was the intervention of the Mobile Police that stopped the riot.
