Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State was in the wee hours of Thursday morning attacked by miscreants who attempted to rob students of their valuables.
The miscreants allegedly gain access into the University through the fence.
A female student, who confirmed the incident alleged that many of the students who fled from their hostels are currently in a state of emergency.
Her words, “We’re trapped. I’m speaking to you from the bush, where I and some other students fled for safety, we are currently in a state of emergency.
“Western Delta University is under siege by armed robbers now. Most of us students escaped to the nearby bush. I’m calling from the bush now in Oghara, Delta State.”
Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer of Delta State police command, SP. Edafe Bright has debunked the attack on the school.
According to him, some miscreants came into the school on Wednesday night through the back fence and attempted to rob the students but the students raised the alarm and the police dispatched personnel to the school but the robbers had fled before the police team got there.
“First of all, the school is not under siege, and no students in the bush. Some miscreants came into the school last night through the back that was not fenced.
“They attempted to rob the students, but the students raised alarm, and we dispatched patrol team there, but they ran away before they got there,” he said.
At the time of filing this report, an impeccable source from the institution disclosed to our reporter that the sudden attack prompted many students to flee in panic, seeking refuge in a nearby bush.
