ADSU: Students Flee Hostel Following Boko Haram Threat Letters

Following series of letters alleged to have been written by Boko Haram to the management of Adamawa State University most of the students have vacated the only hostel in the institution "Barde Hall", available to men.

Some of the students who spoke confirmed this, saying that many students have left the hostels to seek accommodation in the nearby town.

According to a source, the threat letters could be real. It was gathered that the latest of the letters was found on Monday pinned to a wall in the campus covered with blood with some Hausa’s inscription written on it translated as “Last warning” and a piece of flesh pinned to the note.

The Vice Chancellor Dr. Alkassum Abba who arrived at the institution when he was notified of the letter was unable to give students satisfactory answers to the questions they threw at him on the present security issue.

This led to more students in fear for their lives, packing their loads ready to vacate the hostel.
