Less Than 24Hrs After Students’ Protest And Killing Of At Least Two, Water Runs Again In Keffi



Less than 24hrs after the Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) was closed indefinitely following students’ demonstration against lack of water and electricity in which at least two students were shot dead by armed soldiers and policemen, pipe-borne water has been restored in the ancient town and it has flowed ceaselessly.
The university students had – after close two weeks absence of water supply – for six straight  hours, protested along major roads in Keffi, obstructing vehicular and human movement.
Efforts to quell the riot led to the deployment of truckloads of armed soldiers who stormed the scene and fired live rounds killing two students and injuring four others.
