It is alleged that the elections were rigged when someone was found with ballot papers.

Police fired shots at a group of students who clashed over the alleged smuggling of the fraudulent ballot papers.

It’s not clear if live ammunition was used by police.  A security van was also torched.

 Students have vowed to get justice for the slain student in the form of a bursary in his honour and have demanded TUT build a house for his family.
