“Convention or war?” Students flee as NANS convention turns violent in Abuja (video)

The 2023 National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) convention has been marred with violence for yet another year.

Heavy gunshots rocked the old parade ground in Abuja during the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) convention.

Videos from the scene show students running for their dear lives as gunshots rang out.

NANS, the umbrella body of students of tertiary institutions in Nigeria, is currently holding a convention to elect a new set of national leaders.

Some students sustained wounds from the gunshots and machetes after thugs loyal to a candidate began attacking opposition delegates.

Students have taken to social media to comment on the chaos.

“NANS convention abi war?” a user on X asked.

This is not the first time violence would erupt at the NANS convention.
