According to eyewitnesses, NDLEA operatives attempted to raid the campus, prompting students to block the roads in protest. The situation quickly escalated when police reinforcements arrived, unleashing tear gas and reportedly firing shots at the students.

Images and videos circulating online capture the chaos and violence unfolding on campus. In one disturbing video, a student is seen bleeding profusely from a gunshot wound to the leg, underscoring the gravity of the situation.

Initial reports suggested casualties, with claims of two fatalities and one individual fighting for their life. Shockingly, subsequent updates indicated a rise in the death toll, with three reported fatalities.

This incident follows closely on the heels of a recent controversy involving the EFCC, where students were allegedly targeted and detained for possessing expensive smartphones without plausible explanations for their wealth.

As the situation continues to unfold, the KWASU community demands answers and justice, amplifying calls for accountability and transparency in law enforcement operations.
