The Management of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike hereby refutes a circulating unverified report claiming that suspected hoodlums are planning to invade the campus.
We categorically refute this report. Our security unit and law enforcement agencies have conducted thorough checks and found no credible evidence to support these allegations. The claim is unfounded and designed to cause unnecessary fear among parents, students, staff, and the wider University community.
The University management hereby assures all stakeholders that the safety and welfare of our students, staff, and visitors remain our highest priority.
Our campus security team is alert and operational 24/7, and we maintain regular collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force, and other security agencies..
Additional patrols and precautionary measures have been taken as part of routine risk management and to reassure the community.
Students and staff should go about their normal activities without fear.
We urge the public to disregard and refrain from sharing unverified rumours or social-media posts that generate panic. Spreading unconfirmed information undermines public confidence, distracts security resources, and can escalate tensions unnecessarily.
For authoritative updates, please rely only on official University communications published through our verified channels, the Public Relations Unit, the University website, and our verified social media accounts.
We thank parents, students, staff, and the community for their continued cooperation and support. Management remains committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and peaceful learning environment.
Signed,
Anyaso Anyaso
