Speculations that
students of the University of Cape Coast were attacked by armed men on Monday
night are false, the Public Relations Officer of the University, Major (Rtd)
Kofi Bentum, has stated.
On Monday evening, news
of alleged robbery attacks on students of the university went viral on social
media with #UCClivesmatter.
Speaking on Campus
Exclusive, the UCC PRO said that the happenings on the campus that led to such
speculations were a prank created by some ‘unscrupulous’ persons.
“Reports of robberies on
UCC campus is false and a prank. This was a prank being orchestrated by some
unscrupulous people,” he said.
He, however, called for
calm among persons who may have been troubled by the fake reports and
reiterated the university’s commitment to ensuring that its environment is
safe.
“We have invested a lot
in technology, CCTV, streetlights. Our security personnel have been retrained
to improve security on campus,” Major Rtd Kofi Baah-Bentum added.
Major (Rtd) Kofi Bentum
further encouraged students to stop the spread of false news.
