UNIPORT BOILS AS STUDENTS PROTEST

Students protest over the gruesome murder of four undergraduates of the University of Port ( UNIPORT) snow balled into violence yesterday evening.
As the protest degenerated in burning of houses and distruction of property, the authorities of  UNIPORT hurriedly shut down the institution and ordered students to go home.


Biringa Chiadika Lordson, a Theatre Arts students, Ugonna Kelechi Obusor, Geology undergraduate, Mike Lloyd Toku, student of Civil Engineering, all in year two as well as Tekena Erikena were murdered in cold blood by natives of Omuokiri village in Aluu Clan, about three kilometers to the University campus last friday over alleged theft of a laptop and blackberry phone.

President of the Uniport Students Union Government, Nymabo Maxwell Soye while speaking with the Sun Magazine lamented that the protest, which began peacefully earlier in the day had gone out of hand, with the students accusing the Federal Government for reacting poorly to the incident.
