KWASU issues another response to notice of false claims of robbery attacks in malete

Kwara State University (KWASU) is aware of recent misleading information circulating on social media, specifically a write-up by Wahab Oba, which attempts to undermine the university's reputation and that of the Kwara State Government. The writer's claims of a "deafening silence" regarding recent robbery incidents affecting KWASU students in private accommodations are unfounded and misrepresent the active measures being taken to enhance security in Malete. Key Highlights: - Security Progress : KWASU and the Kwara State Government, under the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, are making significant strides in restoring safety in the Malete community. Recent efforts have led to the apprehension of some robbery suspects, with ongoing investigations to capture those still at large. - Collaborative Efforts : The university management is working closely with security agencies, local government officials, and student representatives to tackle security challenges. A joint security committee has been established to ensure safety in private hostels, including the deployment of professional vigilantes. - Enhanced Security Measures : Increased security personnel, including additional police and NSCDC officers, are actively patrolling the Malete area. Restrictions on movement are being implemented to further safeguard students and residents. - Community Engagement : The ongoing collaboration between KWASU, the Moro Local Government Council, and the community is crucial in maintaining a safe environment. The local government is formalizing security measures into bylaws to ensure sustained protection. KWASU urges the public to disregard misleading narratives and remain informed about the proactive steps being taken to ensure the safety and security of all students and residents in Malete. Stay Informed, Stay Safe : KWASU is committed to transparency and will continue to provide updates on security developments.
