There is outrage currently in Nigeria after authorities of Madonna university reported their own students to the Nigerian police. In a petition to the Inspector-General of Police, accused the students of tarnishing the reputation of the institution on the Internet.
One of the Facebook posts read: “Good lecturers are scarce. Madonna University administration should be nice to our lecturers, or a good number of them will resign.”
The students were charged for offences bordering on cyber-crime .
Following the development, security operatives took them to the Okija campus of the university from where they were first detained in a police cell and then later sent to the Awka Prison.
It was gathered that parents of the arrested students had protested what they described as inhumane actions against the students of the institution.
Also, some weeks ago, the National Association of Nigerian Students blocked the gate of the Federal High Court, Awka, to protest the arraignment of the seven.
There has been outrage on twitter as Nigerians condemned this development and demanded the release of the students while clamoring that the University management be called to order.
The Madonna University is based in Anambra state.
