Deputy Registrar of YABATECH and Head of Public Relations, Mr. Joe Ejiofor, who expressed dissatisfaction over the unfortunate incident, revealed to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), that, it became necessary to take the step to ensure sanity is restored.
He also revealed the event attracted a lot of miscreants and non-students into the school.
Ejiofor said: “Truly there was a problem that resulted in a shooting incident that took place on Wednesday during the ongoing ‘Students’ week’ but the people involved are not our students.
“There was an influx of people on the campus due to the activities and unfortunately some miscreants in the environment took undue advantage of the event to attack their opponents.
“The college management, therefore, suspended the event with immediate effect because of the sad development that involved shooting but the good news is that the perpetrator has been arrested and is at present at the Sabo Police Station, Yaba.”
