Auchi Crisis! Scores Injured, Over 50 Vehicles Destroyed As Students Protest (Photos)

Pandemonium broke out on Thursday at the Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, as scores of rampaging students sustained various degrees of injuries following a violent protest over the alleged refusal of the management of the institution to allow students who had not paid their school fees to sit for examination.

Over 50 vehicles belonging to some staff and management were said to have been destroyed by the angry students while some offices had their louvres smashed in the riot that lasted for over four hours.

Auchi polytechnic which is located at Edo state was this morning in an uproar as there was a serious cross fire between students and the police because the school management prevented students from writing exams without paying up their school fees. 

It was reported that the spat student which are students who receive lectures only in the evening were not allowed to write their exams without paying their school fees. It didn't go down well with the students who later engaged the security officials. It is still unclear who started the cross fire between the students and the police but it was not a pretty site, some building were burnt down  as students and even lecturers took hills for their lives.

Some SUG vehicles were destroyed also as students stormed the area, it seems the students have lost faith in the SUG.
