"Hundreds of heavily armed police drafted from formations around Calabar, the Cross River State capital on Monday barricaded the main gate and other entrances to the University of Calabar to stop members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU from carrying out a planned city walk.
The police, led by an Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of operations, , Nnange Itam took over the entrances to the University of Calabar as early as 6am to carry out what they called order from above.
"We have instructions to stop the lecturers from marching out of the university premises to the city because they could be attacked by their students who are angry over the prolonged strike and the market women who the other day protested to express their anger with the teachers" Itam told CrossRiverWatch."
