Aluu 4: Community assures of peace as UNIPORT re-opens

Following the temporary closure of the University of Port Harcourt, over the gruesome murder of four of the University students in Aluu, a community in the state, the school authorities have announced the re-opening of the institution for full academic activities.

The Deputy Registrar of the University, Williams Wodi in a statement said the decision to re-open the school came following an emergency meeting held by the University Senate yesterday. Wodi in the statement urged all students to return to the campus before weekend as normal lectures would commence on Monday. The registrar assured that peace and tranquility have returned to the university’s neighborhood especially Omuokiri-Aluu where the four male students of the institution were gruesomely murdered last month.

He added that the Vice Chancellor of Uniport, Professor Joseph Ajienka has met with the elders of Aluu community who assured that such ugly incident would not rear its head again. It would be recalled that the university was temporarily shutdown following the crisis that erupted between the community and the students over the lynch of four students by a mob in Aluu community.
