Briefing newsmen in his office on Tuesday, the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Lawal Bilbis, said the incident was a case of robbery and not bandits as being speculated in some quarters.

He called on the members of the general public as well as parents to remain calm, saying no cause for alarm over the security of lives of students of the university.

“Let me first and foremost appreciate your coming for an on-the-spot assessment of what really happened in the University so as to dowse the ongoing tension as being speculated on social media.

“I was alerted by security officials in the school of an incident and when I arrived the mini Mart where the incident happened at about 11 pm yesterday, it was observed that the case was robbery and not bandits.

“They took two cartons of soft drinks and 8 phones of students which were being charged in some of the shops at the mart.

“I immediately alerted the security agents including the Nigerian Police, NSCDC officials and they all responded by sending their men to the scene”.

The Vice-Chancellor further commended the security agents as well as the internal security architecture of the school for their prompt response to the incident.
