Dozens of youths seeking admission into the University of Benin (UNIBEN) sustained injuries on Wednesday during a stampede at the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) screening of the university.
One of the victims is also believed to have died.
One of the prospective students told SaharaReporters anonymously that the stampede occurred because the admission-seekers were scrambling to enter the gates of the Akin Deko Auditorium, the venue of the screening, and the institution’s security officers attempted to control the situation by forcefully closing the gates.
