Federal University Dutse Employs Hunters, Vigilantes To Curb Rising Cases Of Theft

The Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State, has disclosed that it has engaged vigilantes and hunters to curb the rising cases of theft in the school.

Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Abdulkarim Sabo Muhammad, stated this at the pre-convocation press briefing.

Muhammad disclosed that there has been an increase in theft of office equipment, stationery, electrical equipment, water pumps and submersibles, portable generators, and diesel in the school.

“It is very unfortunate that the university is experiencing increased cases of theft of office equipment, stationery, electrical equipment, water pumps, submersibles, portable generators, and diesel.

“To curb these cases of theft and improve the general security on the campus, we have increased our partnership with security agencies while hiring the services of vigilantes and hunters to beef up security on campus,” he said.

He lamented that there has also been persistent destruction of the school’s perimeter fence by the neighbouring community.

The Vice Chancellor stated that the destruction has made illegal trespass by people and animals very difficult to control.

Sabo also urged the students and staff to report any suspicious activities, fostering a collective effort to maintain a secure campus environment.
