Operatives of the Enugu State Police Command have reportedly stormed the Enugu State University of Science and Technology and arrested some students.
According to The PUNCH, the invasion was confirmed by the President of the ESUT Students Union Government, Donatus Okolieuwa.
He described it as unacceptable and condemnable, adding that the invasion was carried out by policemen from the anti-cult Unit of the Enugu State Police Command.
Okolieuwa called on Governor Peter Mbah to wade into the matter to enable the affected students to regain their freedom.
Okolieuwa said, “We, therefore, call on our kindhearted governor, His Excellency Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, to intervene in this matter, and use his good office to facilitate the release of our students. Our students should not be subjected to torture, inhuman and degrading punishment for no just cause.”
Narrating how the incident took place, he said, “While I was in a student meeting at Dragon Relaxation Center, 82 Division, Enugu, a student called and told me around 5 pm/6 pm that armed men invaded the school cafeteria with two Hilux vans and a sienna bus, and fired a gunshot in the air.
“Due to the manner in which they arrived, and owing to the stories of gunmen in society and the shooting in the air, the students who were in front of the cafeteria that evening hour started running away for their safety.
