Though the cause of the riot is still unknown as at the time of compiling this report; however, a source informed that it might have been as a result of a controversy between the governor of the Edo State, Governor Adams Oshiomhole, and the immediate past Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Godwin Osayuki Oshodin.
“The students are rioting this morning because
Governor Oshiomhole demolished the house belonging to the former VC of the
school,” the source stated.
Another source stated: “Benin is hot this morning,
University of Benin students are rioting, blocking roads, burning cars, buses,
and lorries. Travellers warn not to go
towards that area for now.”
