The Death of Students May Have Caused the Death of Education in a School

Will normalcy ever be an option in Nigeria, this is a question asked by many, and it was also a question I asked myself upon the discovery of this event which transpired in the eastern part of the country as the traditional practices of a community resulted in the death of two students of Federal Polytechnic Oko after being allegedly attacked by masquerades in their hostel outside the campus. The students in retaliation took siege of the community looting and destroying over millions of naira worth of valuables and properties.
The situation was even uncontainable by the police and other law enforcers who were drafted in as the students blocked all entrances into the town, setting bonfires on roads and chasing indigenes, traders, and non students who took refuge into the bushes.
