Students of the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO), Imo, on Friday destroyed properties in the institution while protesting the increment in their tuition fee.
Although the protest started peacefully, it soon degenerated into a vandalism spree as properties worth millions were said to have been destroyed.
The violence was reportedly ignited by policemen who fired teargas at the protesting students.
The students broke into the school's ICT centre and looted computers and other electronic equipment.
Many faculty buildings were also said to have been vandalised by the students.
