He said the police intervened at the instance of the school management
when the protest degenerated into violence.
Newsmen report that the students embarked on the protest over alleged
increase in their school fees.
The university facilities were damaged by the protesting students who
also made away with some valuables.
One of them, Chinedu Nwakuche, alleged that the university increased
fees for first year students from N48, 000 to N54, 000 per session while
second and third year fees increased from N32, 000 to N49,000.
According to him, fees for students of fourth and final years also went
up from N28, 000 to 39,000, while acceptance fees has gone up to N45,000
from N25,000.
Nwakuche said that students now paid as much as N1,500 to register a
course every semester.

management of the university would comment after determining the extent
of the damages.
