A principal district court in Kaduna orders the police to reopen the gates of Kaduna State University (KASU), which were locked during a strike by non-academic unions. The court directs the Commissioner of Police, and instructs officers to remove barriers and locks preventing access to the campus.
The order follows an ex parte motion filed by KASU’s management and governing council. The university says earlier an interim order from the National Industrial Court in Abuja restrained the unions from taking part in the industrial action, but the unions later proceeded to lock gates and facilities, disrupting academic and administrative work.
Across coverage, outlets align on the basic decision and who is ordered to act: the police are told to reopen the KASU gates. Differences in emphasis include whether the reporting foregrounds the broader strike context or focuses more tightly on the court’s directives regarding locks, chains, and supervision. One outlet also provides more detail on the court’s interim-order reference and the specific unions named.
