The management of Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, says desperation of some students to force their ways into a 500-seat Computer Based Test (CBT) Centre led to a stampede, causing injuries of some of them. “The incidence of a stampede involving some 100 Level students of the Lagos State University (LASU), occurred as they were to write the GNS 102 examination today. “The 100-Level students were scheduled to write the GNS 102 examination on Jan. 6 and Jan. 7 between 8.00 a.m and 2.00 p.m daily,” he said. Adekoya said that the students were scheduled to write the examination in batches, with each batch spending an hour in the CBT Hall. “The affected students were promptly rushed to the University Health Centre and the Igando General Hospital for proper treatment.
