As part of measures to curtail the menace of insecurity, the management of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS) has imposed a ban on tinted-glass vehicles from entering into all the school’s campuses.

The directive, according to a circular dated 30th November and signed by the university chief security officer, Col AV Gwandu (rtd), is expected to take effect immediately.

It will be recalled that unknown gunmen attackedBakin Gulbi, a village close to the university community on 17th November, where one person was killed and several others injured.

This came after suspected thieves launched an attack on the school mini-market and carted away properties belonging to shop owners.

“This is to inform all staff, students and the general public that, in consideration of the prevalent security situation in the country and the need to enhance the security and safety of the staff, students and all other persons having any lawful activity within the University, the University Authority has deemed it necessary to adopt and impose additional security precautionary measures in all its campuses,”the circular reads.

“To this end, the University has decided to impose, and hereby imposes, BAN ON ALL TINTED-GLASS VEHICLES Within all its campuses.”

“The University Security Division has been directed to ensure that no vehicle with tinted glass, henceforth, is allowed to go beyond the Bilya Sanda Gate, the llela Gate or any other entrance into the University Main Campus. Similarly, no such vehicle shall be allowed into the City Campus of the University.

The circular added that: “All Staff, Students and the General Public are hereby put on NOTICE that the BAN is with immediate effect. The cooperation & compliance of all and sundry are hereby solicited.” (Nigerian Tribune)
