The official lodge of the Executive President of Post Graduate Students Government, PGSG of the University of Calabar, Calabar has been barricaded.
The presidential lodge domiciled in Ali Mungono Hotel in the main camp section of UNICAL was barricaded Tuesday at 10PM by aggrieved students sequel to his official suspension by the Senate of PGSG and impeachment of the Senate President, Utsu Emmanuel A.
According to a petition recently received by the Office of the Senate President of PGSG, and sighted by our correspondent, the agitations of students revolve around 8 counts:
‘1. Akpo Pius Undie, invaded the school on 23rd day of July, 2019 with cultist to beat up students during plenary.
