The management of the Plateau State University, Bokkos, has suspended ongoing examinations in the institution over the killing of a 200-level student, Dading Jordan.
The Registrar of the university, Yakubu Ayuba, disclosed this in a statement issued on Friday, April 19, 2024.
Gunmen had, on Thursday night, attacked Chikam, a neighbouring community to the university, and killed the student.
Ayuba said the university also declared a two-day mourning in honour of the slain student.
He noted: “The Vice-Chancellor and the entire management convey their condolences to the family of the deceased student, the student body, and the university community.
“In view of this sad development, management has declared a two-day mourning from Friday, April 19, to Saturday, April 20.
“Accordingly, all the examinations earlier scheduled for Friday and Saturday are hereby suspended.
“While we call on our students to remain calm and law-abiding, we wish to urge the security agencies to beef up security around the university in order to secure staff and students.”
Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang condemned the attack, calling on residents to remain calm.
Mutfwang said the government and security agencies were doing everything to bring the perpetrators of the attack to justice.
