UniAbuja students block Airport Road in protest against student's death

Students of the University of Abuja on Monday morning blocked Abuja - Gwagwalada highway, the main expressway into #Nigeria's capital city as they protest against the killing of their colleague.

The students alleged that a wreckless driver had killed a student while he ran over another four students who were seriously injured yesterday.

The protesters blocked both entrance & exit sides of the highway since around 6am, causing traffic gridlocks on the ever-busy Abuja expressway.

They didn't allow any vehicle to pass the highway but permit passengers to disembark from vehicles & gave them freeway to go about their daily duty.

According to a student he said the course of the protest is:
"A 200 level student from history and diplomatic department #Uniabuja was found death just this night in front of permanent site gate, cause of death she was coming from home according to source and unfortunately she was attacked by armed robbers so when she wants to defend herself by means of escaping she mistakenly ran to the road and was hit by a car. The man that declared himself of the cause of her accident brought her body for identification in girls hostel....May her soul rest in peace."
while another student said that:
"Undergraduate was killed by hit & run drive outside University of Abuja ystrday, young Girl ws running from robbers on pedestrian bridge and was hit by hit and run while trying to escape robbers and when taken to the school hospital, the hospital failed to save her life because they are demanding her to show her hospital ID"
