Students shut Yabatech over cult activitie

Activities at the Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, were paralysed on Thursday as students of the institution shut the school gates and restricted movements around the institution owing to a student protest said to be against cult activities.

The students equally turned back some policemen, who were drafted to the school to quell the unrest while the protesters did not allow those within the campus to leave for several hours.
