The authorities of the Delta State University, Abraka on Saturday banned the wearing of miniskirts by female students.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university,
Prof. Vincent Peretemode, in a statement made available to our
correspondent, also ordered the reduction of fellowship centres in the
school from over 80 to four.
The VC in the statement stated that the number of fellowships in the varsity’s three campuses
portended crisis.
He said in the statement, “I have
observed in the recent times that over 80 fellowship centres are on the
three campuses. We cannot allow such. Fellowship centres have in recent
time portended crisis that was almost unabated.”
He added that the school authorities also banned the wearing of miniskirts by female students.
The statement listed the four approved
religious bodies to include Catholic, Anglican, Joint Christian Campus
Fellowship and Our Saviours Chapel, as it indicated that there could be
crisis among the students if the fellowship centres were not reduced.
The vice-chancellor said the number of
religious centres in the institution was alarming, especially in Asaba
campus totaling over 20. He stated that the figure tripled when added
with that of Asaba campus.
Meanwhile, three suspected rapists were arrested last week in the university by security operatives in Oleh and Abraka campuses.
The Police Public Relations Officer in
the state, Celestina Kalu, who confirmed the arrest of the suspects,
identified them as Joseph Kenneth, Ejiro Philip and Monday Igba.
He said the suspects were arrested while
attempting to invade the female hostels on the two campuses by the
local security operatives in the two campuses.
Kalu added that the suspects were handed over to the police in Abraka who later transferred them to the state CID.
