| Policemen move to quell the unrest |
University of Uyo has been closed
down until further notice after students' protest turned violent.
At least, a student is reported dead after police allegedly shot into the crowd to disperse them. The police have however denied there was any casualty. Troops were later called in to restore order. This is an eye witness account; I have not been able to independently verify the story.
The students were protesting the sudden increase in transportation fare from the old campus to the new one.
