The directive, the university said, became necessary due to the unfortunate incident that happened in UNN on 12 September.
NAN reports that a businessman identified as Chiebonam Nweze, also known as Power-Autos, was said to have been stabbed to death.

”Social events of any kind will not be permitted on our campuses beyond 6:00 p.m. henceforth,” the management said.

The management said that it was unfortunate that the burnfire event was hijacked by miscreants from a neighbouring community who instigated violence.
The management assured the public that, UNN remains fully committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all members of its community and would continue to take every necessary measure to prevent a recurrence of such incident
