"Individuals began posting a wide range of things on the web. You comprehend what individuals do with cameras nowadays. 

Obviously, the fire might consume someplace and after that, they compared it with a building and one could see smoke." 

Ogunleye noticed that the college had authorized a medication test on specific understudies, some of whom he said declined to go along.

"A few understudies should confront disciplinary activity for their bad conduct in the college and they would not like to confront it, 

so they were endeavoring to mix up contentions and emergency so the college would not have the capacity to rebuff them. We didn't suspend 200 understudies. They (those suspended) are not up to 40. 

"Some declined to do the medical test and some did it and they tried positive to unapproved substances. The issue has since been settled. 

The school has called the guardians of those influenced and they needed to run home with their folks. There isn't any issue past that."
