The Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University Dutsinma (FUDMA), Katsina State, Prof. Armaya’u Bichi, has alleged that some of the university’s members of staff were colluding with bandits.
He said to newsmen in Katsina on Tuesday,08 July that the contacts of the suspected university personnel have been handed over to a security agency for further investigation.
A recent attack that led to the death of one of the university’s staff prompted his colleagues to stage a peaceful protest over insecurity.
According to the vice chancellor, the school management is doing everything possible to prevent the recurrence of such incidents, but the situation is getting worse.
Bichi said, “This issue of informants is worrisome; therefore, we investigated those we are suspecting of giving out their colleagues and students’ information.
”We have found them and handed over their contacts to one of the security agencies for further investigation.
“But we have not heard anything from the securities.
“These suspects are our staff. We have strong reasons for accusing them of being informants to bandits,” the vice chancellor revealed.”
Reacting to the situation, the Police Command in the state said that they were not aware of such an issue but promised to further investigate the matter.
