The management of the Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, Kwara, has suspended the on-going first semester examinations.
The Deputy Registrar, Information and Publication, Ajibola Jimoh, made this known in Ilorin on Saturday.
The warehouses in the cargo terminal area and Agro mall in the state were looted, with items such as spaghetti, noodles, salt, and sugar carted away.
“This development is due to the 24-hour curfew declared by Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to contain further escalation of street protests and wanton looting of government and private property in Ilorin on Friday night,’’ he said.
The suspension comes as pockets of violence had similarly broken out in parts of the country, with government buildings, private properties, media houses, and vehicles either looted or destroyed.
This had followed on the heels of the nationwide protest against police brutality and the clamour for police reform.
