Some of the students, who spoke with our correspondents said they parted with various amounts ranging from N200,000 to N1 million to secure the admissions through an intermediary of PAP.
As of the time of filing this report, the students led by Comrade Patrick Padiayefagha were in a closed-door meeting with the leadership of the school.
Meanwhile, the ongoing second semester examination of the school was forced to a halt by the students, who continue to occupy the school entrance.
