The management of the Federal University Dutsinma (FUDMA) in Katsina State has announced a one-week mid-semester break starting from Feb. 24.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the students’ protest continued Monday morning.

Reports indicated that the JTF members on Sunday shot the student, alleging that he was an informant.
