JALINGO—Female students of Taraba State University have sent an SOS message to authorities in the state over continued raid of their hostels by armed robbers.

The students, who spoke to Vanguard at their hostels in Jalingo, said robbers invaded their hostels and carted away over 20 handsets, laptops and over N700,000.

Acting Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Catherine Musa, confirmed the incident, describing it as an act of theft.

She said the matter was reported to her office and blamed the insecurity in the institution on the absence of perimeter fencing.
