Photos: LASU students go on rampage, stone VC



Lagos State University student have been on rampage since yesterday over the closure of the school's registration portal. This morning, the chaos was a bit heighten with students destroying  properties and disrupting second semester exams schedule to hold today after their Vice Chancellor, Prof. John Obafunwa, refused to re-open the registration portal for about 1292 students left to register for the current 2nd semester examinations which starts today because they couldn't raise the new N250,000 school fees on time.

The VC reportedly said students yet to register are insignificant and would automatically have to carry the session over. This was the statement that led to the riot today. Students who adamantly went into exams halls today were injured by protesting fellow students while exam papers and cards were destroyed. The VC wasn't spared also as his car was destroyed by rioting students who are insisting that the portal must re-open before examinations can commence in the school. The school authorities invited over 100 riot police to calm the situation down.
