According to Daily Post, the candidates were provided with just four computers to complete their registration, hence some of them started conniving with the officers monitoring the process in order to complete their registration to the disadvantage of others.
An eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity said: “Students started fighting with security operatives due to the frustrating registration process, the uniform of some of the officers were torn.
“A soldier was beaten to coma and as he regained consciousness, he took away three students. As I speak with you, Army personnel are currently trooping into UniAgric.”

The candidates claimed that some of them had spent many days without obtaining the form, even as some who don’t have relatives, had to come to the state capital every day in an attempt to buy the form.
They expressed fears that many prospective candidates might not purchase the forms within the specified time frame, unless urgent steps was taken to remedy the situation.
