Caleb University shut down following students' protest

Caleb University, Imota, Lagos, has been shut down following students' protest yesterday which saw school properties, including four cars destroyed. The protest allegedly began after an official of the school tried to stop a Muslim student from praying in the school, which is a Christian school.

The School's VC Prof. Ayo Olukoju announced today that the school will be shut down temporarily but will re-open on June 2nd. Speaking to Punch about the decision, Prof Olukoju said;

“We have rules and regulations in the school and all the
students agreed to abide by them. These rules are in the student
handout. Before now, we have been applying appropriate sanctions against
students who default in any of these rules. We wanted to enforce one of
such sanctions on Wednesday before this crisis escalated. Please, the crisis has nothing to do with religion. It has nothing
to do with being a Christian or a Muslim. People, especially female
students even went to their worship centres on campus on Wednesday to
pray after the incident. Again, I tell you this action was carried out
by the male students alone.”
