Kidnapping: UNIABUJA Employs Hunters, Mount 24-Hour Surveillance | Read details

The University of Abuja (UNIABUJA), said it has employed the services of hunters, vigilante groups, and 24 hours security patrol in a bid to check insecurity in the institution.

The varsity had come under attack last month when armed men invaded the staff quarters of the institution kidnapping 6 persons who were later released.

The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council, Modibbo Mohammed, UNIABUJA, while speaking in a retreat organised for principal officers, dean’s, directors and trade unions, on Saturday, said;

“We have now mounted 24-hour security patrol in the university, not only within the campus and residential areas but within perimeters of the university.

“We have also employed additional hunters and vigilantes to patrol in areas that are not fenced because it is a very vast land.”

He also revealed that the institution is investigating over 10 cases of s-exual harassment and indiscipline involving professors and others.

“Once somebody breaches the rules and regulations, they must be sanctioned no matter how highly placed, whether it is se-xual harassment, examination malpractices or extortion from students in one way or the other.

“We have so many cases now being investigated and we have referred over 10 cases of staff indiscipline, including professors to the university disciplinary committee.

“I can assure you that in the next couple of months, you will begin to see changes in the way we approach things in the university” Mohammed said.
