The security situation of the University of Ibadan, UI, Oyo State, is under review and will prevent future invasion of the school’s hostel by robbers.
The Chairman, Council Committee on Security, University of Ibadan, Prof. Ademola Aremu, made this known on Sunday during a visit to the female hostel invaded by some robbers on the same day.
The visit was with Vice Chancellor, Prof. Idowu Olayinka.
Aremu said there was a pattern in the invasion of the school by robbers.
According to him, the robbers came when students were on holiday and not many of them were around.
It would be recalled that exactly a month ago, robbers invaded the university and went away with the belongings of the students, including phones and other materials.
The school had also at the time stressed that it would improve on the security situation in the school.
The Deputy Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Kayode Adebowale, who gave the assurance said: “We have been security conscious, that was why we raised the perimeter fence around the hall.
“It is one of our halls that are close to the boundary of the university and the Polytechnic of Ibadan; therefore, many things had been tampered with.
“However, we will raise the perimeter fence further and then put wire marsh that would prevent anyone from coming in.
“We would also complete the perimeter fencing of the entire hall and increase the number of our security personnel manning the hall every night.’’
