Varsity suspends exams after robbers attack, rape students

The Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ogun, has suspended ongoing second semester examinations following Tuesday’s robbery and rape of four female students.

Armed robbers invaded private female hostels of the school in the early hours of Tuesday, dispossessed the occupants of their valuables and allegedly raped four students.

The suspension of the examination is contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by TASUED’s Registrar, Mr Dapo Oke.

“The university condemns in strong terms incessant attacks on students, particularly the dimension of rape.

“The university assures students, parents and guardians of its efforts in conjunction with the state government and security agencies to ensure that the welfare and security of students remain a priority,’’ Oke added.
