The controversy rocking the University of Abuja over the choice of a substantive Vice-Chancellor assumed a new dimension on Tuesday, as professors are protesting the selection process in the school premises.

The Guardian reports that a disturbing incident occurred during the protest, as the crew of Channels Television, were brutally manhandled by security operatives.

The situation escalated further, with the crew’s bus being vandalised, causing significant damage.

Not done yet, the security operatives detained the crew for over an hour.
