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 3a.m, 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.
