The management of the Federal Polytechnic, Idah, Kogi state, on Tuesday
closed down the institution, following students violence over the murder
of their colleague, Gabriel Adiku, by unknown persons.
A statement by the institution’s Deputy Registrar (Academics), Mr
D.I.S. Unwuchola, said that the closure was approved by the governing
council after it reviewed the security situation.
The statement disclosed that Adiku, a Higher National Diploma
student, was attacked by unknown assailants, who waylaid him on his way
from class to his hostel.
“The victim was stabbed several times and left in a pool of his
blood. Students later rushed him to the school clinic for treatment
where he died,” Unwuchola said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the situation took a
negative twist, leading to the closure of the school, when angry
students destroyed the clinic because they felt that Adiku would have
survived if it was equipped.
The statement, however, indicated that the school would be reopened on Aug. 6, 2017.
