PICTURES: Many stranded as UNILAG students protest electrocution of first class student

Hundreds of motorists in and around the University of Lagos, and the Akoka area have been stranded for several hours, as academic activities were put on hold on Wednesday.

Angry students went on the rampage after a female student got electrocuted in the institution on Tuesday night.

It can be recalled that NigerianEye broke the news yesterday night of how a female student, Oluchi Anekwe, who was a 300 Level student of the department of Accounting, and said to be a first-class student got electrocuted by a falling cable in front of New Hall.

NigerianEye reports that policemen from the Bariga and Sabo divisions are currently at the campus gates to contain the rampaging students.

Vehicular movements into and out of the school were at a standstill as of the time of filing this report, NigerianEye gathers.

Students who spoke with NE lamented that they had complained about the cable and electric poles that electrocuted the female student, for several months, but the school authority failed to do anything about it.

NigerianEye visited the school premises through the alternative gate, and took some pictures.
