Angry Students Set Provost’s Residence, Vehicle Ablaze
Students of the College of Health Sciences and Technology in Jega, Kebbi State, have set the residence and vehicle of the college Provost, Haruna Saidu Sauwa on fire.
The students alleged that management of the college extorted N23 million from students regarding index registration for 250 graduating students.
A source who doesn’t want the name mentioned noted that the controversy originated from a newly introduced public health programme, initially affiliated with Reproductive Health and the Public Health Association of Nigeria.
According to the source, the students accused the management of extortion, following up their disapproval with violence, including the stoning of vehicles and setting ablaze the provost’s residence.
The college staff fled the scene until the arrival of security personnel.
