A clash between students and soldiers on campus today threw the University of Benin into disarray.
According to reports, the soldiers allegedly ordered students to lie down after they attempted to withdraw money from the school ATM.
In a video posted online, students can be seen rushing a soldier for crossing the line and assaulting students who resist.
According to reports, the soldiers first beat up some male students before beating up a female student for allegedly recording them.
This infuriated some students, who retaliated and fought back, prompting the soldiers to flee.
The students then barricaded the roads, preventing motorists and travelers from moving.
