The management of the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) in Imo State has raised an alarm over increased cases of kidnappings around the institution.
Uba, the university registrar, stated this in a memo issued on Tuesday.
Mr Uba said the university’s management observed that the increased kidnappings around the institution often happen “very early in the morning and late in the evening.”
“Consequently, students are directed to shun unnecessary movements out/into the university between 6.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. to avoid falling victim to the activities of these hoodlums,” Mr Uba said.
“Students are also enjoined to be vigilant and inform their parents, guardians or any significant other of their movements,” he added.
The registrar provided the phone number of the university’s chief security officer and asked students to contact him in the event of emergencies.
