THE REAL STORY OF CHAOS BETWEEN BENIN STATE GOVERNMENT AND UNIBEN

What started off as a peaceful and normal day turned fiery as a comrade bus was set ablaze by students in protest to the state governments actions in demolishing the former vice chancellor's quarters located inside the campus. A source said according to the information gathered by the authorities, the buiding wasnt occuoied by the former vice chancellor but it was actually occupied by his sister. When asked why the state government didnt take the issue to court, the source said they did and they got the order to take charge of the situation. The residence was demolished during the day with the state governor and the commisoner of police present. 


Now the onset of the situation has led to riots and protests carried out by the student union government(SUG) nd other union, also getting involved are students and lecturers. A comrade bus was burnt which we can only assume was in some way a message to the current state governor and as a response its said that some thugs as of yesterday were harrassing any known student of uniben. Warning messages were sent out to people and i quote "when leaving school, hide your student id as thugs are harrassing and beating up students at ring road and new benin". 


Also a quote from a ranking officer "the problem is not with the students of the University of Benin and the State government but with the University of Benin and the State government. Now, in my opinion that statement is controversial and wrong as the students make up a large body of the university and whatever issues the university has with external bodies would clearly affect the students. 



No word on if the issues has been resolved or if there are talks going on to tackle the situation but we do hope that it is dealt with and curbed swiftly and effectively. Also we cant confirm at the moment if this would disrupt the school activities as the clearance of the new students has already begun and the returning students are expected to resume next week. But if the situation is not resolved or curbed then it just might affect the school activities.
