The Acting Vice Chancellor of the institution disclosed that a committee had been set up to find out how the girls were robbed.
The Acting Vice Chancellor of Taraba State University, Jalingo, Dr Catherine Musa, said on Tuesday that investigation has commenced into report of a robbery incident in the girls’ hostel of the institution.
Musa
disclosed that a committee had been set up to find out how the girls
were robbed of their valuables in the middle of the night and the
response of the university’s security personnel.
The
vice chancellor told newsmen in Jalingo that reports indicated that the
girls were robbed of 18 handsets, two laptop, a tablet computer, some
amount of money and other valuables.
“I
was told that at about 3 am, someone went into the hostel and robbed
the girls of their valuables, including phones and computers.
“The
girls themselves believe they were charmed because all of them were
deep asleep and only woke up to discover that their phones and other
valuables were stolen.
“We have
already set up a committee to investigate the matter and I don’t want to
pre-empt the outcome of their investigation, but I know we are going to
do something to prevent a reoccurrence of such,” she said.
Musa urged the state government to fence the university, to enhance security.
She recalled that due to the porous nature of the university, the house of a lecturer, Dr. Hassan Garba, was recently burgled
