Rongo University Closed Indefinitely.

Rongo University was today closed indefinitely after a chaotic environment  was witnessed at the institution following a heavily contested student election.

According to a memo signed by Deputy Vice-Chancellor Michael Ntabo, the decision to close the university was arrived at following deliberations by the University Senate.

“Senate resolved that the university be closed indefinitely due to ongoing unrest as a result of student election. All students are directed to vacate the University premises immediately.”

Reportedly, the opposing teams had engaged in a rampage following the announcement of the election results.

As a result, there was a huge damage to school property forcing the University Senate to convene for deliberations.

Students went ahead to lit bonfires in part of the school’s grounds, windows at the institution’s main library were also broken.

The University administration was able to stop the protests before they got out of hand. No injury to students or staff was reported.

It was reported that at the time of the closure of the institution, elections had been conducted and the duly elected candidates announced.
