UNICAL EMBARKS ON A SEVEN DAYS SOLIDARITY STRIKE
Life is not the same again
for Academic Staff of University of Calabar. In the late hours of yesterday the
2nd of May 2016, three persons were abducted by men of the underworld. The
affected persons were the wife and daughter of an academic staff in the medical
college Dr. Ndifon and the son of Barr Aniema of the graduate school. While
attempts were made on five different families, only the families of Dr. Aniema and
Dr. Ndifon fell into the hands of men of the underworld.
The security men inclusive of soldiers
and police men were quickly called but before they could reach the vicinity,
the men had whisked away with the abducted persons through a ready speed boat
in the riverine area of the University.
The security challenges in
the University seems unabated as the university security seems too unequipped
to contain the sophisticated armory of the men of the underworld. The security
challenge is made complex due to the terrain that has an adjournment of both a
thick bush and a river that serves an escape root for criminals after their
nefarious activities
Unable to contain the
security threats, the Academic Staff Union of University, Unical Chapter had
declared a 7 day solidarity strike to call on the University management, the
state and federal government to come to their aid. Meanwhile an ad hoc
committee has been formed to look at the holistic security challenges and make
recommendations to the university management and government
Academic activities are
expected to resume on the 11th of May , 2016.
