Robbers Loot UNN Female Hostel

Unknown persons broke into a female hostel of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka on Thursday morning, carting away students' belongings worth millions of Naira.

The incident took place at Zik's Flat Hostel, located opposite the university's second gate.
Students affected in the raid are mostly final year female students.
They said that the theft occurred while they were away in the lecture hall.

"When we came back from class, we discovered signs of burglary in our door. The unknown thieves broke into more than ten rooms in our hostel," one of the affected students said.

Refusing to give her name, she said in tears, "I lost my laptop, one of my mobile phones, cash and other personal belongings. Other students suffered similar fate.

"As I speak to you now, I am completely shattered because my project work is in that laptop."

Another student who lost some items to the burglars lamented that such thing could happen even when the university has a security post in the hostel.
She said, "Those security men were there gisting while robbers carted away all our properties."

She said the incident had been reported to both the students affairs department and the security.
