According to competent sources from the institution, the clash involving two lovers took a religious tone following an argument.

“I was at the gate when I saw a group of students coming out with swords and sticks and they were chanting Islamic slogans, so we took to our heels knowing it was trouble,” Maxwell Jonathan, one of the students of the institution told DAILY POST on phone.

According to him, they ran towards a roundabout in Yola called Bekaji, then they saw police vehicles being deployed towards the school to quench the riot.

“Some few minutes later, we saw some of our students who were pursued out of the school coming. They told us that the rioters killed two students before the security men could arrive the school,” he said.

Mohammed Mohammed told DAILY POST that, he was with his friend near the girls hostel when a group of rioters came and started beating up girls.
