Students of the Federal Polytechnic, Bauchi, on Monday blocked the institution’s main gates after armed men allegedly attacked several hostels on Sunday night, injuring students and carting away valuables.
The protest turned tense as suspected hoodlums tried to hijack it, blocking the federal highway near campus. Police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd, prompting some students to retaliate with stones before being overpowered.
SUG President Haruna Umar condemned the attack, calling it the first of its kind in the institution’s history.
