Three Students of the University of Calabar were on shot by stray bullets from the riffle of a security officer of the university on Wednesday evening.

According to reports the shooting happened following an inconclusive Student Union Government election contested by four candidates: Emmanuel Akobi, Ajang Emmanuel, Ilefa Austin and Afo Nelson. A 300 level political Science Student, who was an observer in the election, Ekere Sylvanus, said trouble started when some of the students who registered to vote could not find their names in the electoral register were not allowed to vote.

“Some students who registered during the registration exercise could not find their names on the Voters Register and the Electoral Officer who was assigned to conduct the election by the Vice Chancellor asked them to wait in a queue and the number rose to about three hundred and when it was 3pm when the election was scheduled to end”

He went further to say that the Electoral Officer said the election had ended, prompting those students should not be allowed to vote.
