FOUR NASSARAWA STATE UNIVERSITY KILLED, SCHOOL SHUT DOWN

Four Nasarawa State University students were brutally murdered and seven other wounded by Soldiers today who were brought into the school to quell a peaceful protest by the students. The students were protesting  over the shortage of water supply within the University around 8a.m today when suddenly some military men stormed the university campus shooting sporadically. 15 students were shot and four of them died. Nobody knows who called the Soldiers but the school has been shut down on the orders of the university authority and as at 3pm today, the military men were still harassing any students they saw within the premises of the university.

What is going on in this country?  Even our schools are no longer safe? I'm waiting for the spin the Military is going to put on this. I'm beginning to lose hope in this country. So sad, smh.

"I have a fiance. I must confess that I never knew my love affair with the father of my baby would turn awry but it did. Fortunately for me, the guy I was dating before stood by me when my daughter’s father  rejected me. He saw all that happened as a script written by God, which had to play out. He stood by me throughout the pregnancy and he is still there for me. I am not bothered about any issue now. I just pray that the joy God has given me will live forever! Indeed, I am fulfilled as a woman."
