Calabar
University of Calabar
(UNICAL) was yesterday shut
after students violently
protested alleged death of
three colleagues on campus
as a result of insecurity.
The authorities closed the
institution for two weeks,
asking the students to
vacate the campus
immediately.
According to the students,
insecurity in the university
led to the killing of two of
their colleagues by armed
robbers on campus.
They said the robbery attack
came two weeks after a final
year law student was killed
on campus by unknown
persons suspected to be
cultists.
The registrar, Dr. Julia
Omang, in a statement said
the university authorities
rose from a meeting
yesterday with a decision
that the students must
‘vacate’ the campus
immediately.
“At an emergency meeting
of the management of the
University of Calabar held
this morning August 27
2011, a decision was taken
for students to proceed on a
two week mid-semester
break. Accordingly, students
should vacate the campus
before 12 noon. All students
should ensure compliance
with this directive.”
