Yesterday's lunch time heavy down pour left many students stranded without possible means of accessing their respective dining halls as many were seen stranded outside lecture rooms.

The down pour, which wasn't anticipated by many, started just at around 12:30 p.m, a time many be going for lunch and few had umbrellas something that left them stranded as they kept waiting for the 'indisciplined' rain to stop but in vain.

"I really don't know what this rain is after. We started the lectures at 7:00 am and i have not eaten anything since yesterday night... the only meal I was expecting was this and now see what is happening...” said a student who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Mr. Ogele Steven, and administrator working with Venus Meals Enterprises, an outside catering hostel that serves Mitchell and University hall residents, expressed his disappointment with the lunch time rains as they stall the whole process and affect the way they operate. “When it starts raining, students don't come for meals and only come when it has stopped...It disrupts the process." Ogele said.

The rain also cut off many paths leading to halls of residence with floods all over the campus.
