UNN bans night social events after death of guest

The University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) has banned all social activities in the campus beyond 6pm.

The acting Public Relations Officer of the university Mr Inya Egwu, said this in a statement.

The development follows the incident that happened in UNN on September 12, when a businessman, one Chiebonam Nweze, aka, Power-Autos, was stabbed to death.

Nweze was a guest during a burn fire night organised by the students’ association of the Department of Archaeology and Heritage Studies UNN.

”Henceforth, the UNN management has directed that all such activities must be held strictly during the daytime and under the supervision of the University Security Unit.

“Social events of any kind will not be permitted on our campuses beyond 6pm,” the statement read.

The management noted that the burn fire event was hijacked by miscreants from a neighbouring community, who instigated violence.

The management assured the public that, UNN remained committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all members of its community and would continue to take every necessary measure to prevent a recurrence of such incident.
