There was panic at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, on Friday following a clash between tanker drivers and students of the institution.

City Round learnt that at least three cars and many motorcycles were burnt while the mayhem reportedly paralysed academic activities.

It was learnt that the crisis started on Thursday after a truck hit a pick-up van conveying some students from the main campus in Gida’n Kwanu to the mini campus of the varsity along Bida-Minna Road, Bosso, leaving some of them injured.

One of the students reportedly sustained a life-threatening injury.

Our correspondent learnt that the students were going for a campaign preparatory to the students’ union election which was supposed to hold on Friday.

A student, who spoke to City Round on condition of anonymity, said the truck driver went into hiding at a nearby filling station which angered the students.

He said students vandalised some vehicles parked at the filling station after the management refused to produce the driver.

He said, “The Bida-Minna Road is terrible. Government repaired it shortly before the election and stopped trucks from plying it during the day. But immediately after the election, they returned to the road.

“The students were heading for mini campus along the road to campaign for the Student Union Government election. The trailer was trying to avoid a porthole but in the process hit the van that was conveying the students. Some students were injured. The students protested at the filling station where the driver ran to and vandalised some vehicles. Everywhere was tense. There was no movement on the road and many people had to pass the night on the campus.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Abubakar Daninna, confirmed the incident, but said normalcy had returned to the campus.

If you arrest the tanker driver, you'd have to pay the policeman "Mobilisation Fee" which is simply bribe to take up your case. they would then arrest the tanker driver NOT because they want to punish him by detainment but simply to take another "Bribe" from him under the guise of "bail". both you and the driver would've spent money, money that would all end up with the policemen

The school authority as usual would not step into the situation and attend to the plight of the students...

Futminna students are usually not aggressive or chaotic. Everyone is just after getting good grades and nothing else but school management is always distant and tries to frustrate their efforts...

I hope the chaos gets resolved soon and peace gets restored...stay safe FUTMITES

Africa africa

O lord

When will calamity end in Nigeria

They did very well by rendering people's fathers carless.

Hmmmm

Na u get sense pass bros....

In 2015... When I returning from NYSC after a successful year. My bus driver abused a tanker driver for driving recklessly on the road, only for the tanker driver to pursue my bus with all seriousness to hit us. My driver had to just run in to a street along the way...

My Alma Mata. This is serious. Learnt that the student that sustained life threatening injury gave up the ghost. Violence is never the solution. Now, all the students will have to cough out money to pay for damages.
