Firstly, there was a delay in the election process. Election which ought to have started by 9am in the morning started at around 12pm noon. This is not withstanding the mid-semester exam and quiz which took place in the morning in majority of the election venues and the delay in setting up the election venue.

The violence erupted from Faculty of Engineering before spreading to other departments. According to an eye witness report “majority of the students who came to cast their vote for the presidential elect where looking for the name of ‘ChuksMary’who unknown to them have been disqualified thus his name was not visible among the SUG presidential candidate in the ballot paper. All of a sudden, someone asked in a loud voice why ChuksMary name was not listed among the candidate for president, then came the chant “No ChuksMary, No election” by bodies outside the election venue; then came the hitting of sticks/irons and scattering of the election ballot boxes”. As of the time of the violence, ChuksMary was not seen among the thugs who were present there as majority of the thugs started the riot at the same time in the various polling booths. This is to say the thugs divided themselves into sects and probably set a timeframe for the election disruption thus ChuksMary cannot be blamed for the violence in any ramification though the violent started in his name, one cant ascertain for sure if he hired the boys per say as none of the thugs was caught by the school security team even though the escaped from the front gate.

Another issue of major concern that made the students get annoyed and scatter the ballot boxes were the paper used in casting the vote. It was neither watermarked nor any form of authentic signature attached to the paper in order to avoid rigging. The paper used for the SUG election was A4 paper, cut with scissors and names of candidates with their small passports attached and a text box to tick a candidate. Students were displeased with the election planning.
Election chaos is not a new thing in Nigerian universities but this is the first time, an election violence of this sort has been experienced in AEFUNAI. The vice-chancellor of AEFUNAI, Prof. Elom addressing students on 11/3/2021 have assured the students of peace and told the students that the incidence will be well addressed and investigated and any offending party will be subsequently punished.
We thank God no life was lost during the chaos although few sustained injuries especially in FMSS (Faculty of Management and Social Science).
