Caleb Univ Shut Over Students' Unrest, Properties Damaged

Pandemonium was let loose on Wednesday at a privately-owned university in Lagos. Students of Caleb University took law into their hands, destroying properties of the institutions worth millions of naira.

It was gathered that a male staff of the school identified as Osunbo, allegedly stopped a Muslim student from praying in his religious way, which sparked violent reactions from the students.

Osunbo, who works in the student affairs department of the Christian-based institution, was said to have also beaten the Muslim student blue black.

The student later damaged properties in the school, including vehicles parked in the school premises. They also reportedly touched their hostels, lecture rooms, cafeteria, porters offices and others.

Policemen were reportedly brought in to douse the tension.

Meanwhile, the school has been shut for two weeks by the management. Parents have been advised recall their wards.
