AAU Ekpoma Restricts Movement Amid Nationwide Protest
In anticipation of a nationwide protest planned for tomorrow, targeting issues of bad governance in Nigeria, Ambrose Alli University (AAU) Ekpoma has imposed restrictions on the movement of students and staff.
The university’s management, led by Acting Registrar Comrade Ambrose E. Odiase, issued a directive restricting travel to only essential movements and confining individuals to their residences within the campus or nearby areas.
This precautionary measure aligns with a directive from the National Universities Commission (NUC), aimed at ensuring the safety of all university personnel amidst potential disturbances.
The university has coordinated with local security agencies to enhance security measures, ensuring the protection of lives and property within and around the campus grounds.
According to the statement released by the university, both students and staff are advised to minimize unnecessary travel during the period of the protests.
Specifically, students residing in the halls of residence are instructed to remain on campus, while those living off-campus should stay within their homes.
Staff and students are also encouraged to continue with their academic activities and avoid any areas where the protests might escalate, to reduce the risk of encountering any potential threats.
Despite the heightened security measures, the university’s administration reassures that students should proceed with their first-semester examinations without fear of disruption or intimidation.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
