Students of the University of Benin in Edo State, South-south Nigeria have laid siege to the Benin-Lagos expressway in protest of the death of two students allegedly knocked down by an Army patrol vehicle.
The students led by the President of the Student Union Government, Comrade Omorogbe, are demanding for a pedestrian bridge across the road, and a speed breaker on the 8-lane road to prevent a recurrence of such an incident.
They insisted that compensation should be given to the families of the victim within seven days; else they will embark on another protest.
The students further requested that a fly over should be constructed at the university gate within a year.
Travellers are said to be stranded on the road, as the aggrieved students were determined to get a positive response from necessary authorities.
While addressing the protesting student, the Dean of Student Affairs, Professor Francis Osagiede, assured them that the university authority would look into their demands as soon as possible.
