The Senate of Modibbo Adama
University of Technology, Yola, has ordered an immediate and indefinite closure
of the school following the violence that ensued among students on Sunday.
There had been growing tension in
the institution, following a recent students’ union election that polarised the
students along religious lines.
Reports had it that a statement
was allegedly posted on the engineering students’ group WhatsApp by a student,
a development that irked some Muslims students to stage a protest that turned
violent, leading to the burning of places of worship including mosques and a
chapel.
The Senate after an emergency
meeting, which held on Monday decided to close down the school till further
notice.
