COMMOTION AS PROTEST ROCKS THE FUTO COMMUNITY
The normally calm environment of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, has witnessed unrest due to the hike in fees, despite unsatisfactory services, by the school management. The protest was initially scheduled for Monday, 20th of February, but surprisingly, the students of the school decided to embark on what they called 'an awareness protest' today. The warning protest which was intended to be peaceful ended up in an unplanned riot, as students, suspected to be majorly cultists and those from neighbouring tertiary institutions began destroying the school property. The windows of departmental buildings and lecture halls were smashed with stones and sticks by some of the angry students. Popular buildings like the Senate building, SEET complex, CCE building, ICT centre and workshop 3 suffered the wrath of the angry students. Below are some pictures of the protesting students and some damages caused.
