Unknown
persons on Thursday morning broke into a female hostel at the University of
Nigeria, Nsukka, carting away students belongings.
The
incident occurred at Zik’s Flat Hostel, located opposite the university’s
second gate
When our
correspondent visited the campus, students were seen counting their losses,
which they put at millions of naira.
Students
affected in the raid are mostly final year female students.
They
stated that the theft occurred while they were away in the lecture hall.
“When we
came back from class, we discovered signs of burglary in our door. The unknown
thieves broke into more than ten rooms in our hostel,” one of the affected
students said.
Refusing
to give her name, she said in tears, “I lost my laptop, one of my mobile
phones, cash and other personal belongings. Other students suffered similar
fate.
“As I
speak with you now, I am completely shattered because my project work is in
that laptop.”
Another
student who lost some items to the burglars lamented that such thing could
happen even when the university has a security post in the hostel.
She said,
“Those security men were there gisting while robbers carted away all our
properties.”
She said
the incident had been reported to both the student affairs department and the
security.
