By Dawud Ahmed in Lokoja.
The Management of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, north central Nigeria,has described as fake and malicious the rumour making the rounds that kidnappers have invaded the institution.
The Rector of the polytechnic, Dr.Salisu Ogbo Usman,stated this in a statement he signed in Lokoja on Thursday and a copy made available to The Reporters.
He said:”The rumour is not only unfounded, but it is also an imagination from the pit of hell.
‘Both campuses of the Polytechnic in Lokoja and Itakpe are calm and peaceful, as staff and students are having the best of the moment after the usual academic activities for the day.
“Parents, guardians and other stakeholders should remain assured that the Polytechnic Management, with the active support of Kogi State Government, is fully in charge of the security apparatus of the institution.
“They should, therefore, discard the unwarranted and malicious rumour of security breach, being peddled by failed detractors.”
