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.
