Contrary to the new making rounds that a student
of the University of port-harcourt was shot dead
during the protest that erupted yesterday in the
institution, the Rivers Police Command has stated
that there were no casualties during the protest
staged by the students of the university over new tuition fee policy. The command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmad
Muhammad, disclosed during an interview with
news men. “No student or policeman lost their lives during the
UNIPORT protest. “The policeman reported dead had nothing to do
with UNIPORT, because the deceased policeman
was shot dead by armed robbers in an isolated
case. “Similarly, no university student was killed to the
best of my knowledge. “All roads earlier blocked by the protesting
students have been reopened by the police,” he
said.
