Governor Liyel Imoke of Cross River State and the Vice-Chancellor of University of Calabar, Prof. James Epoke, have condemned last Saturdays’ student’s violent demonstration, describing it as unprecedented in the history of the university.   Students of University of Calabar, over the weekend, went on rampage destroying over 500 cars and vandalising buildings as well as looting valuable equipment worth hundreds of million of naira.

The rampage was said to have been sparked off by an alleged armed robbery attack on one of the students’ hostels at Malabo at about 11:00pm, leading to the death of one of the students . www.mannastores.com
