Gunmen raid varsity hostel, rape two



About six gunmen yesterday invaded Paul University, Awka, Anambra State, raping two female students at gun point.
The invasion infuriated other students of the institution who barricaded the three gates leading into the university for several hours to protest what they termed insecurity on the campus.
It took the intervention of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Gaius Igboeli, and the Anglican Bishop of Awka, the Rt. Rev. Alex Ibezimhe, to stop the protest.
The VC had spent about 45 minutes persuading the students to let him into the campus.
He was followed by Bishop Ibezim who addressed the students.
The situation almost got out of hand when the students dared the police and insisted that no one would be allowed entry into the campus.

Nigerian Student Breaks World Record, Scores 4.0 Over 4.0 In Turkish Varsity



A genius could be referred to as an exceptional child who is academically sound. But, how would you describe an individual who never misses a point in his examinations from first year in the university to the final year? If there is any adjective to qualify such  a person, that word could best describe Tunji Olu-Taiwo, an Engineering student of Eastern Mediterranean University in the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus who obtained 4.0 CGPA out of 4.0 CGPA, the first ever in the department.
