Students of Adamawa
State University, Mubi, fled the campus following the rumored advancement of
Boko Haram to capture the town. The insurgents struck in neighbouring Gulak on
Saturday and are said to be advancing towards Michika and Mubi. The authorities
of Adamawa State University, Mubi, have now announced indefinite closure of the
institution due to the fear of possible attack from insurgents.
This is contained in a statement by Malam Hassan Tanko,
acting registrar of the institution, in Yola on Sunday. The statement, which
directed students to go home, stated that the university was closed
indefinitely for security reasons. Some students of the university, told NAN on
telephone that they were stranded due to residents rush to leave the town. One
of the students who identified himself as Ali said many commuters were now
stranded in the commercial border town due to lack of vehicle. “Motor Park is
now jam-packed with stranded passengers with no vehicle to move them out,” Ali
said.
