Due to the increment of school fees from about 45,000 to about 160,000 naira for 200level students and fresh students, the students have resorted to a rather peaceful protest but the protest just turned bloody as army officials were deployed to harass the aggrieved students.
Fresh report indicates that two students have been shot, one on the head an the other on the leg. They are both receiving medical attention at a nearby hospital.
Even at that the students are not willing to give up the fight. Right now, Benin-Auchi express road is blocked. Just in case you plan on travelling, look for alternative route.
