The students first converged at the University’s Senate Building where they shouted slogans and sang protest songs demanding that the school ends what they said was a form of exploitation.
The students then left the senate building and went on a rampage round all faculties in the school.They proceeded to block all entrances to the schoolthereby preventing cars from going in and out of the campus.
