Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The media team of the University of Cross River State has explained how the University was overrun by cultists.<\/p>\n

Describing the killing of a student by hoodlums as unfortunate, the University said the deceased was being a good samaritan.<\/p>\n

The deceased student was reportedly trying to recover a phone from some thieves who had snatched it from a girl.<\/p>\n

\u201cSnatchers of the phone reportedly turned their attention on the student and hacked him fatally.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough an investigation is still ongoing on the incident, it can be deduced from those reports that he died while trying to do a noble deed\u201d the media team stated.<\/p>\n

The team said although some of his suspected killers have reportedly been arrested, they have not been prosecuted and sentenced.<\/p>\n

\u201dConsequently, the University sympathize with friends and family of the deceased student and pray that God grants them the fortitude to bear this weighty loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cEqually, we sympathize with students and staff of Calabar Campus who must have faced some inconveniences as a result of the sudden temporary closure of the campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, this closure is meant to mourn the death of our student and calm frayed nerves. It is mostly for the sake of law and order.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we are all aware, our university has been battling with several challenges, including land encroachment.<\/p>\n

\u201dThis encroachment puts an extra burden on our security personnel.<\/p>\n

For instance, some miscreants reportedly infiltrated today\u2019s protest and destroyed some property on campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been reliably informed that about fifteen of them were arrested. The arrested persons are not our students. That\u2019s just one example of our challenges.<\/p>\n

We must collectively overcome each challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, on behalf of the university\u2019s management, we appeal to everyone to remain calm as we all await a smooth and rapid return to normalcy in Calabar campus\u201d the media team stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
