Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>There is protest ongoing at the Plateau State University, Bokkos, following the raping of four female students of the University, on Monday night.<\/p>\n

The students who are residing off campus were said to have been abducted by unknown gunmen, raped and dumped in the bush, late Monday night.<\/p>\n

The peaceful protest is said to have stalled academic activities in the institution.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST gathered from a source that a male student residing in the area was also shot, and was left injured.<\/p>\n

The source also said the act by the unknown gunmen is becoming a recurring issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is becoming a worrying issue, because more than 90% of the students of the institution reside off campus, because of lack of enough hostel accommodation in the school\u201d, the source decried.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST also recalls that on Sunday 9th June, 2019, suspected herdsmen invaded one of the female hostels of the institution and raped a female student and left her unconscious.<\/p>\n

Also in an attempt to intervene, a 100 level student of Geography Department, Mr. Ugu Sheni Kimati was killed.<\/p>\n

However, when contacted, Spokesman of the Plateau State Police Command, ASP Gabriel Ogaba, said,
\n\u201cThere was an incident where unknown persons invaded a student logde off campus in Bokkos.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey only made away with their phones as a result of the quick response of our personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cNo student was raped\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Police Public Relations Officer assured that investigation was ongoing to unravel the perpetrators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
