The incident occurred at the convocation square where the bags of rice were kept awaiting the arrival of Gov. Abdullahi Sule for the commencement of distribution.
According to a student who witnessed the incident, Moses Ajah, the surging crowd of students waiting to enter the square overpowered the security personnel and broke in through the gate thereby causing a stampede.
He described the incident as very unfortunate.
“Some of the students were struggling with the police over the rice and as more students got information, the situation degenerated.
“As we speak some students are injured and receiving treatment at the school,” NAN quoted him as saying.
