Police Kill Three At University Of Uyo Over N200 Transport Fees

Several sources have told SaharaReporters the Nigerian
police in Uyo, capital of Akwa Ibom State, today shot
dead three protesting students at the University of Uyo.

One of our sources said he was certain only of one
casualty, but the other said the figure was higher.
Several sources disclosed that the students were
demonstrating against the introduction of transport fees.
Eyewitnesses said a peaceful procession on campus
turned violent, leading to the burning down of the vice
chancellor’s office located at Ikpa Road in Uyo.

“At least three students were shot and killed by the
police,” said a student source. He added that the police
contingent had been brought in to quell the uprising.
Unconfirmed reports said university officials have closed
down the school indefinitely after the protests that turned
violent.

An eyewitness told SaharaReporters that the protest was
started by engineering students protesting the
introduction of fares for the school bus shuttle. The
school earlier moved the engineering faculty and the
faculty of sciences from the town campus to the
permanent site at Nsukara Offot. “The distance between
the two locations is very far,” said the source. He added:
“Before now the school provided buses that shuttled
between the two campuses of the university, and the bus
service was free to all students. Now this morning the
students woke up to the announcement that a fee of 100
naira has been fixed for the bus services.”

Our source disclosed that the fares infuriated students
who afterwards mobilized for a peaceful protest. He said
the university officials then brought in policemen to
break up the protest. Two of our sources accused the
police of using excessive show of force against the
unarmed protesters.

“They started firing teargas, and this made the students to
respond by turning violent. The students started hurling
whatever objects, they could lay their hands on at the
police and blocked all the entrances and exits locations
in the school,” said one of the sources.
The sources said the protesters were stunned that the
police fired live ammunition at them. They said the irate
students then burnt down the VC’s office, other nearby
buildings and the school gate.

When SaharaReporters contacted the Akwa Ibom State
Police Public Relation Officer, Effiong Dickson by
telephone he said the police contingent sent to quell the
riot did not enter the campus but admitted that when the
student came out on the street, there was a skirmish as
police reportedly came under attack from students
“wielding sticks and throwing stones”. The PPRO stated
that there was no report of any killing from his colleagues
engaged in the operation. However, he said he had heard
rumors that one student was killed.

    The Illuminati contact us
    realilluminatemember@gmail.com.The Illuminati is a defunct secret society
    formed by a fervent
    Academic, Adam Weishaupt in Balvaria,
    1776. The cult as its name
    suggests, was a group of intellectuals who
    came together to instill
    discipline in themselves, infiltrate
    government agencies, and create a
    new world order. However, the original
    illuminati was disbanded by the
    government of Balgaria, when all secret
    societies were banned, though
    even before then, strong internal problems
    were already leading the
    illuminati cult to termination.
    That was the 18th century Illuminati. The
    21st and 20th centuries
    also have an illuminati sect which in words
    you are more likely to
    understand, is supposed to sign you up ,
    pull you into their chain of
    command, give you enlightenment, and
    then, power, as you’ll be playing
    sinewy roles in the government. This article
    tries to bring to light,
    facts about the modern illuminati, and also
    helps the reader to join,
    and utilize the opportunities availed by the
    sect, which are
    enlightenment, enrichment, and
    empowerment.
    The illuminati make people rich, famous and
    astoundingly
    powerful. The illuminati, which means
    enlightenment, purges your mind
    of all vestiges of ignorance, backwardness
    and naivety. It brings you
    out of the delusions and illusions which
    you’ve been subjected to by
    your numerous religious escapades, and
    when you are relieved of these
    non-propitious encumbrances, success
    becomes inevitable.
    Knowing that many of us do not
    understand the illuminati as it
    is, I’ll go ahead to expound on this
    wonderful phenomenon and am
    hoping that by the time you get to the last
    paragraph of this article,
    you would be on your way to becoming
    “illuminated”. It would do the
    reader good to note that the Illuminati of
    the 18th century is not the
    same with the modern illuminati. The
    former was a cult, while the
    latter is a consciousness. IF YOU WANT TO BE
