A group of armed robbers launched a raid on Western Delta University in Oghara, Delta State, in the early hours of Thursday this morning, after gaining entry through the rear part that was not fenced. The sudden attack prompted many students to flee in panic, seeking refuge in a nearby bush.
The spokesperson for the state police command, DSP Bright Edafe, denied a siege on the school. He said some miscreants came into the school on Wednesday night through the back fence and attempted to rob the students. According to him, the students raised the alarm, and the police dispatched personnel to the school but the robbers had fled before the police team got there.
