Academic activities were yesterday disrupted at the Federal
University of Technology (FUT) Minna, Niger State as suspected Muslim
fundamentalists attacked female Christian students whom they accused
of improper dressing.

The fracas which took place at Bosso campus of the university about 9
a.m., saw the armed fundamentalist invading the lecture-theatres and
beating up female students they claimed were not properly dressed.




An eye witness informed Daily Champion that the fundamentalist
numbering about six, dressed in black clothes with red bandage on
their heads, disrupted lectures by beating unsuspecting female
students with horse-whips for alleged improper dressing.

It was further learnt that the male students on seeing the unprovoked
attack on their female colleagues moved to intervene an action that
prompted the fundamentalists to use knives to inflict deep cuts on
them.

With this development, the university community broke into a free-for-
all fight as Muslim students gathered themselves on one side, while
the Christians equally mobilized themselves and this led to throwing
of missiles at each other by the parties to the conflict.

However, the timely intervention of security agents comprising armed
military men and mobile policemen prevented the situation from
spreading to the host community.

Governor Abdulkadir Kure who visited the school took time to address
the students at the convocation square where he appealed to them to
remain calm as measures would be taken to avoid recurrence.



He promised adequate security would be provided in the institution to
ensure their safety and fundamental rights, adding that "those
involved in the crisis would be brought to book."

The governor who was accompanied by the state Police Commissioner,
director of the State Security Services (SSS) and the deputy
Governor, Dr. Shem Zagbayi Nuhu ordered the students to go back for
their lectures.
