Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Armed criminals on Wednesday midnight, broke into one of the female hostels of the Rivers State University, robbed and sexually assaulted some of the students.<\/p>\n

The criminals who were armed with guns and machetes entered \u201cHostel D\u201d through the laundry room, where they broke the wall to gain entrance.<\/p>\n

Items such as phones, laptops, Point of Sale machines, and other valuables were stolen.<\/p>\n

Some reports claim two students were sexually molested cannot confirm the exact number of students who were sexually assaulted.<\/p>\n

The female students on campus embarked on a protest on Thursday morning, claiming the incident has been recurrent without actions taken to prevent it.<\/p>\n

The Chief Security Officer of the school, Acid Ebere arrived at the scene of the protest to plead with the protesting students and assured them that the issue would be addressed.<\/p>\n

The CSO is, however, yet to give an official response to journalists.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the Rivers State Police Command has confirmed receiving reports of armed robbery in the RSU female hostel.<\/p>\n

The Command Public Relations officer, Grace Iringe-Koko, in a statement, said the commissioner of Police, Nwonyi Polycarp Emeka, has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations, Area Commander, Port Harcourt, and the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Nkpolu to provide adequate security on the campus.<\/p>\n

The CP urged students, parents, and the school management to take advantage of the Police Control Room numbers for reporting suspicious activities: 08032003514 and 08098880134.<\/p>\n
