Uni Ibadan,imposes partial curfew on campus two days after robbery attack.

The University of Ibadan on Tuesday, said it has imposed partial curfew on the campus.
The partial curfew which takes effect from today (Wednesday) is expected to hold between 12 midnight and 5am.
We gathered that the partial curfew on the campus is coming two days after a robbery incident was recorded in the campus.
It was gathered that some armed robbers had in July this year, attacked the Obafemi Awolowo hall, where students’ property ranging from mobile telephones, laptops and money were forcefully taken away from the innocent female students. Our correspondent gathered that, no fewer than two students were injured in the robbery attack in the female hostel.
A similar incident was recorded at the Abubakar Abdulsalami hall, a post graduate hostel, in the early hours of Sunday, where students’ property worth over two hundred and fifty naira were taken away. Some students were also injured during the Sunday attack.
The management of the institution had on Monday announced that it has henceforth, banned male visitors from entering any of the female hostels in the institution. The institution announced that the decision to ban male visitors from the hostels was necessary in view of the recent robbery attacks in the female hostels in the institution.
However, the institution on Tuesday, said that it has imposed partial curfew on the campus.
Our correspondent gathered that the decision to impose the curfew was taken at a meeting of the University Security Committee which reviewed the current security situation on the university.
Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Professor Idowu Olayinka in a statement made available to DAILY POST by the Director of Public Communication in the university, Mr. Tunji Oladejo, maintained that all students and members of staff must have means of identification when asked by security operatives.
He added that the partial curfew would be in place until further notice.
Olayinka in the statement reiterated that “all male visitors to the three female hostels (Awolowo Hall, Queen Idia Hall and Elizabeth hall) are to be received outside the halls while female guests will be screened.”
