6 students dead in Uniuyo riot

6 STUDENTS CONFIRMED DEAD AS UNIUYO STUDENTS RIOT:
The Engineering students of University of Uyo went for a peaceful demonstration in the office of the Vice Chancellor in other to address issues about the sudden changes made by the V.C concerning their transportation from Uniuyo Main Campus to Uniuyo Permanent Site.
The Vice Chancellor decided that students who want to board the school bus from Main camp to Permanent site for lectures had to pay daily.
As a result the Engineering students of the university lead a peaceful demonstration to the V.C's Office to lay their complains about the sudden change. On arrival the security officials at the V.C's office tried to stop the students from gaining access to the Vice Chancellor, the students therefore retaliated by throwing stones at the security officials.
The security officials had no option but to call for back-up which lead to the RIOT. The police who were supposed to come and calm the situation fired shots at the students and killed 6 innocent students. The students on the other hand set the office of the V.C on fire and also destroyed other school properties. What is the world turning into??
