How student protest in Federal College of Education turned violent
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that there was chaos at the Federal College of Education, Yola in Adamawa state as students of the institution protested the poor supply of water to their campuses.
Chaos started after the students who were said to have been marching around the school premises to portray their grievance over the social ill-treatment sighted soldiers in the institution.
Sources said the soldiers were invited by the school's authority to quell the protest by the students. The students started destroying facilities and setting buildings on fire upon sighting the military officials.
The school authority has since shut down the Federal College of Education, Yola following the students' protest which turned violent.
An official of the institution also assured that efforts are been made by the appropriate department to ensure that the water in the campuses is restored for the students' use.
