ADSU VC: Threat Letter Not From Boko Haram

Scholars NG wishes to make it known to the entire public that there were threat letters sent to Adamawa State University (ADSU) last week, and we reported that to you in this post. The letters were said to have been sent by the dreaded Boko Haram. The Vice Chancellor of the University has however said the letters are not from Boko Haram. He gave reasons for assuming they are not from the terror group.

University (ADSU) Mubi Dr. Alkasum Abbah has allayed fears of any impending Boko Haram attack on the institution, saying that the university’s authority is working with security operatives to ensure an all-round security in the institution.

He said he suspected foul play in the way the threat letters were being sent to the university, saying that from all indications the threat letters may not have emanated from Boko Haram but within the school premises.

“We suspected that the letters are not from Boko Haram but by some people within the university community. “They have sent the letters three times and one was given to a nine-year-old boy who gave the security men the letter,” he said. Abbah urged parents and guardians of the students to remain calm as the university’s authority is synergizing with the security personnel to provide and all-round security for the life of all students in the campus.

He said part of the measures being adopted by the authorities include providing ID cards to anyone that either works or do business in the university’s premises, adding that they were giving the security personnel all necessary cooperation to ensure that the university was secure.
