The Nasarawa state Governor Abdullahi Sule has ordered a probe into the incident that left two state university students dead and twenty-three others receiving treatment on Friday.
The university received palliatives from the state government to distribute to the students to cushion the effect of the economic hardship.
He said, “ I pray their souls rest in peace. Our thoughts and condolences go to their families and friends at this moment of grief”. These young people’s lives cut short at their prime under such circumstances is painful”.
”The Governor has since directed the authorities of the Nasarawa State University, Keffi, and security agencies to commence an immediate investigation into the unfortunate occurrence to unveil those behind it.”
However, some students overpowered the security on the ground, causing a stampede which resulted in death and injuries of the students while they carted away the food items.
