News is just surfacing that the joint protest by all students of kogi state institutions is currently being disrupted by the Nigerian police who allegedly have resorted to using live ammunition to disperse the students.

Coming as a surprise to the students who were given permission by the Nigerian army to protest, they have been reports that while the police has engaged in sporadic shooting, one student, has been badly injured and some injured.

According to reports the JCC chairman who wanted to explain to the police men upon their arrival was not given a chance to show the permit granted to them and was shot by the policemen, while the there was immediate release of tear gas on the students, who retreated only to return and the police men resorted to gun fire of live ammunition on the students, while some scampered into safety, a major bulk of the students still won’t budge and thus the peaceful protest planned by the students is gradually changing to a face off between two forces.

It would be recalled that for 16 months, most civil servants of the states are yet to receive their salary and thus forced the lecturers of all institutions to go into their legal Action which has lasted for over 3 months and still yet the government is playing deaf ears to the call of the students.

Also reported is the uncommon presence of heavy security at anyigba, where the school gate of the kogi state University is currently under siege by the Nigerian police and civil defense,

Currently the students are still protesting that most revered ganaja junction of lokoja town which is the state capital.
