The Registrar of the university, Ajiroba Oke, confirmed the development to PREMIUM TIMES on Wednesday.
“We suspended the examination due to the students’ request. We also realised that so many students have been traumatised by the incident. We gave them a day off to allow them to be stabilised and to be in the right state of mind to prepare for the examinations,” Mr Oke said.The regsitrar confirmed that four female students of the university who off-campus were attacked and violently abused in the early hours of Tuesday. He said the victims were subsequently hospitalised.
“Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students is of utmost importance and I subsequently had a crucial meeting with the management and students of TASUED. I was joined by the Ogun State Commissioner for Police, Mr Abiodun Alamutu, and the Honourable Commissioner for Education, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, where we discussed concrete steps to bolster security measures and foster a safe environment on campus and the adjacent host community.
These attacks are not isolated incidents but are part of a broader pattern of violence that has affected the larger Nigerian society.HumAngle, an online media platform that is focused on security issues, had reported that several Nigerian universities have been under attack across all regions in the country, with cases ranging from sexual violence in the South-west to the abduction of students by bandits in the North-west.
