A group of violent youths
suspected to be Niger-Delta
ex-militants this morning,
invaded the Igbinedion
University, Okada, Benin City,
destroying school’s
properties and macheting
every student in sight.
According to reports
reaching us, the said
militants invaded school
about 5am and they are still
there at the time of filing this
report.
An eye witness who pleaded
anonymity told Vanguard
that the violent youths were
“destroying cars, macheting
people, shooting sporadically
and have injured several
students while many are
feared to have been
kidnapped. They have also
blocked the main gate of the
school so no one can come
in or go out
“There’s a lot of chaos in the
school right now and the
students are all scared as the
militants have gained access
into one of the girls hostel”,
our source stated.
Our effort to know the
reason for the invasion has
not yielded any success.
However, we will bring all
the details later.
