Students in the premises of National Hospital in Abuja
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) convention, which is currently holding at the International Conference Centre in Abuja, has been disrupted.
The convention turned violent as gunshots were fired close to the conference centre.
In a video that has now gone viral, delegates could be seen running for safety, after police fired tear gas to disperse crowd and keep it under control.
The major road leading to the International Conference Center has now been deserted.
Meanwhile, some of the NANS members stormed the National Hospital in Abuja on Friday to protest what they perceived as a medical staff’s delay in attending to their colleagues’ injuries sustained during a factional crisis earlier on Thursday.
According to reports, Police are currently at the hospital to reestablish law and order and ensure the safety of both the protesting students and the medical staff.
The NANS protest erupted after reports emerged that the injured student had been waiting for hours without receiving any medical attention. (Vanguard)
