Recalls that about 20 people, who were coming from an Islamic programme at Bauchi, were recently killed by some youths around Rukuba area of Jos.

 

 

The university, in a bid to avoid casualties among the students, suspended the ongoing examination in the institution.

It was also gathered that the acting Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Gray Goziem Ejikeme, had earlier visited some of the students in their hostels.

 

 

Ejikeme, along with the Dean of Students Affairs and the HOD of Remedial Sciences, was in the hostels a few days ago to attend to the needs of the students.

 

 

It was however gathered that some students of the institution have been killed since the massacre of the 20 travellers.
