What looked like a peaceful campaign later turned out to be a bloody menace as the presidential campaign team of Igwe Ude-Manta led by President Tijani Usman Shehu, was attacked on Friday 8th July in the Administrative block of Ebonyi State University (EBSU).

Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki was founded in 1999 in Abakaliki, Nigeria, to encourage the advancement of learning and research, and in the long run, rewrite the hitherto inglorious history of educational backwardness of Ebonyi people.

As we reliably gathered from our sources on ground, the incumbent president went to see the Vice Chancellor, Prof. (Engr.) Professor Idike Francis to introduce his candidate, Comr. Igwe Ude-Manta. Unfortunately, Comr. Chinonso Obasi (IBB) got the news and mobilized some mob, who besieged the administrative block.

The pro-IBB students believed to be cultists clashed with Tijani-led team, following their refusal to provide answers to their questions as thus;

I. Who asked you to visit Ebonyi state?
II. Did you take permission from me?
III. Is the Governor aware of your visit? etc.

“Presidential hopeful Igwe, a student of Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki , Ebonyi State, was stabbed at the back leaving him with blood stains on d white clothes on him. And the case was immediately reported to the security,” said an EBSU student. 

The injured Igwe Ude-Manta, Prince of Ebonyi State whom our own Kabiru Ibrahim Dallah once described as an embodiment of intellectual and oratory prowess, is a former president, Student Union Government of the University of Abuja who was victimised due to his stands against the management on the increment of school fees five years ago.

n-Mirror also gathered that this isn’t the first time IBB (EBSU ticket) is involved in act inimical to the ideals of student unionism. For instance, during Zone B convention held in Awka, Anambra state, he attempted to kidnap a fellow student, Jennifer Onyekachi, but failed. Comr. Jennifer is the current Assistant Secretary General of the zone.

Reacting to the incident, a faculty president in EBSU speaking with our correspondent advised fellow students supporting either of the two presidential candidate to have a rethink. According to him, the era where touts are groomed to be NANS leaders is gone, “we must at all cost show maturity and some sense of responsibility in our conduct,” he added.

This year national convention will hold in Gombe State University, Gombe, Gombe State, between 14th-17th July.

Armed robbers storms University of Calabar Main Gate on Wednesday afternoon after they’re said to have robbed a shop and collected a Safe-box filled with money. And in the act at Main Gate, they collected a cab and shot a student to coma.

An eye witness who happened to be the friend of the student told Calabar Reporters that the armed robbers appeared from nowhere with a safe box they robbed from a shop owner. Along the line they burst up a commotion at UNICAL Main Gate where they started ransacking students and commuters within the vicinity.

When they approached a taxi loaded with people going towards Mary Slessor Avenue, they steered up a crowd and the cab driver flew away living passengers struggling to run for their lives too.

The eye witness said;

“As the passengers were running, one of the gunmen said to the other, why are you allowing them to run, shoot! And he shot multiple shots leaving bullets protruding the boy belt and through his rips”

The student was letter rush to the nearby General Hospital where he was referred to Navy Hospital at 11-11. The Naval Hospital couldn’t handle it but referred the student to the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH).
