Speaking on the situation, the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Soladoya Adewole said:

“The management is looking into it and the security office is also working on it to unravel what had happened.

“Calmness has returned to the campus. Whatever happened was for about five minutes but you know where there is always a large crowd of people, the tendency is that people will be jittery and make noise, but the commotion doesn’t last for more than five minutes.

“But everything is under control."

As reported by the News Agency of Nigeria, the eyewitnesses said the shooting was between two cult groups, explaining that the shootings occured around the Central Administrative Building of the campus and went on for 10 to 15 minutes.

The students who resumed three weeks ago ran for safety while the incident was on, but normalcy has been restored in the campus.
