The management of Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, has shut down the institution indefinitely.

This followed cult related violence in the school which left 4 students dead in the early hours of yesterday.

According to the institution’s Information Officer, Mr Dzerka Fanafa, the decision to close down the school was taken in an emergency meeting of stake holders on Wednesday night in which it was unanimously agreed that students leave the hostels before noon on Thursday to avoid escalation of the crisis.

Fanafa said the university Senate was expected to meet later on Thursday to ratify the decision taken at the meeting.
