Condemnable! Another Case of Theft in Female Lagos Hostel, Unilorin

Occupants of female Lagos hostel have lamented that they now live their lives in fear and intense caution. This lamentation is as a result of the incessant cases of theft recorded every semester in the school calendar year.

Ms. Aisha Sanni, an occupant of Room B12, is the recent victim of this condemnable act. Her valuables including an iPhone that belongs to her friend were lost to the devilish act of the culprit.

Ms Aisha narrates her ordeal to UCJ UNILORIN on how the incidence occurred.

In her words, "we woke up early in the morning and discovered that our phones were stolen. It happened on Friday 12th of May. The phones stolen included, a unilorin tab, a blackberry and an iPhone. The iPhone doesn't belong to me, I was supposed to return it earlier that day."

From an interview with one of the occupants of the room, UCJ UNILORIN gathered that the thief barged into the room through the back door which was supposedly closed and also exited through the same medium.

The incidence of 12th May led to several accounts by other occupants of the female Lagos hostel.

One of them lamented saying, "We live our lives in fear!" UCJ UNILORIN was able to collate the following accounts:

"I just kept my 'ponmo' (cow skin) inside my wardrobe like I don't used to open it like that, but I noticed that when I wanted to use the ponmo (cow skin); I just saw about five out of twenty"

"A lady in another hall who sells recharge cards was robbed of both her recharge cards and money one fateful morning"

Another student who lamented of attempted theft in her block as their nets were cut but fortunately for them, nothing was stolen. And some other notorious scenarios both in this semester and last semester include that of laptop, shirts, shoes (heels) etc.

These occupants who claimed they don't know the brain(s) behind these theft phenomenon, are making a clarion call via the UCJ with the hope that a solution be proffered by the school management as soon as possible.
