Boko Haram targets University of Uyo?

I don't want to believe this story. Happy people, I haven been reading about Boko Haram's supposed threat on Akwa Ibom State and it's really not funny. What connection has this group got with Akwa Ibom State? Do they now really want to take their attacks out of the north to other parts of Nigeria? I really hope that the government

is able to control these insurgents as soon as possible.

Anyway, i don't know how true this is but please Nigerians and Akwa Ibomites stay safe because I will hate to lose any of you. Read the full story after the cut as reported by DailyPost Nigeria. Remain happy and spread happiness around. Xoxo.

There’s palpable fear and tension in Uyo, the capital city of Akwa Ibom State following the report that University of Uyo (UNIUYO) has been listed for attacks by the outlawed Boko Haram sect.

The Chief Security Officer (CSO), University of Uyo (UNIUYO), Lt. Col. N.U.V. Efik, confirmed that UNIUYO was one of the targets slated for attack by the sect and warned students to be more security conscious as they resumed for the new semester.

A letter signed by the former military chief, which was copied to the Vice Chancellor, Professor Comfort Ekpo and all principal officers of the institution, warned members of the community to take security precautions.

The letter reads: “Intelligence reports received at this department indicate that the university has been earmarked as one of the major targets in the event of an attack in Akwa Ibom State.

“Consequently, every member of the university community is urged to please be security conscious, observant and report any suspicious movement or thing to the security officer nearest to him or her.

“As a pre-emptive measure to safeguard the university from attack, all small gates leading into both annex and town campuses would be closed to all between 12 noon and 3:00 pm every Friday.

“Members of the university community are advised to use the main gates during the period as other measures deemed necessary for the safety of the community will be communicated to you from time to time.”
