Kogi varsity students protest death of student

Kogi State University students on Monday protested the death of a fellow student, Comrade Offor Israel, a fresh graduate from the faculty of Agriculture.

The student was reportedly killed in a motor accident that occurred on the Ankpa-Lokoja road, Anyigba.

He was said to have been hit by an upcoming vehicle when he was trying to cross the road leading to the school.

On hearing his death, students of the institution were reported to have to have staged a protest at the school gate.

Yinka Oluwafemi, a student of the institution who witnessed the accident, told the newsmen that the student was hit by an upcoming vehicle when he tried crossing.

In reaction, Onuh Destiny, a fellow lodge mate of the deceased says, ” I am still filled with disbelief… someone we had breakfast together this morning. Lumio lodge is down!”

According to Jeff Friday, the CEO of KSU Newsline told the students on his facebook page to stay calm over the issue.

“All students are advised to stay calm and not to put law into their hands. Return to your hostels and lodge.
As any further misconduct can lead to total shut down of this current academic section which in turn can risk your own admission as well,” he warned.
