Oke explained that the institution’s security unit swung into action immediately it got wind of Tuesday’s unfortunate incident which took place at about 2a.m.
“The university condemns in strong terms incessant attacks on students, particularly the dimension of rape.
“The university assures students, parents and guardians of its efforts in conjunction with the state government and security agencies to ensure that the welfare and security of students remain a priority,” Oke stated.
