Students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University have staged a protest following the alleged assault of their Students’ Union Government (SUG) President by members of the Udogachi Vigilante Group.
According to reports, the incident occurred on the afternoon of March 25, when the SUG President was reportedly attacked. Videos circulating online show him lying on the ground while men believed to be vigilante operatives surrounded him.

Students were urged to mobilise for a peaceful protest, leading to a large turnout at Aroma Junction, where demonstrators blocked the road while demanding justice.
