Phone thieves caught in UNIUYO campus BY GLORY ODOEMELAM

Two men were caught in the early hours of the  Friday 14th February, stealing phones and gadgets from the female hostels of the University of Uyo town campus.

According to an eye witness, the men were caught by the school authorities as they attempted to jump over the school gate with their loot.

Another eye witness disclosed that several female students ran out of their hostels to have a glimpse of  the “window men” when they head that they had been caught but the school authorities took the men away from the angry students for fear that they might be  lynched by the already furious students.
This incident which is the second to occur in the school campus is yet to receive the necessary reaction from the school authorities to forestall a future occurrence.

Surcharge: UNIUYO VC may be dragged to court

Following the decision of the management of the University of Uyo to slam some sum of money on the students as a result of the wreckage that accompanied the June 12 mayhem where properties were destroyed, a law chamber based in Anambra has decided to wade into the matter with a call on the university management to rescind its decision of charging the students a fine otherwise face a legal action.

In a letter captioned ‘pre action notice’ and addressed to the Governing Council of the University of Uyo through the Vice Chancellor, the principal partner of  Ewa Hermmes and associates the firm interested in the matter noted that “In view of the decision of the University of Uyo Governing Council at its 61st meeting of 25th and 26th  September 2013 to surcharge the entire students of the University of Uyo for destruction of the institution’s properties during the June 12th 2013 students crisis perpetuated by only a fraction of the entire students population.
