A 100 Level student of Plateau State University (PLASU), Bokkos, Emmanuel Isreal, who fell off a vehicle during a student protest on Tuesday, April 13, has died.

According to reports, the deceased who is said to be the class rep of the Mathematics Department of the university died from the head injuries he sustained after he fell off the car.

The Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Yohana Izam, confirmed Emmanuel’s death in an interview with newsmen on Wednesday.

The Vice-Chancellor described the death of the student as very sad and unfortunate.

He said:

“To us as an institution, Emmanuel’s death is shocking and a great loss to us considering the cause of his death.

“We have been cautioning the students against demonstration and protests, which are not jamborees, yet they keep doing it.

“Our pain and regret is that the Monday protest has robbed us of a precious soul and forced us into mourning.”
