Major Kofi Baah Bentum (Rtd.)
The University of Cape Coast has said that reports of a robbery attack on its campus are false.
Major Kofi Baah Bentum (Rtd.), Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the university, said on Citi FM in Accra that while the university recorded few robbery incidents, security on campus remained airtight.
“Almost everybody believes the news circulating. There have been several twists to the news circulating. With some claiming that some students have been injured. I can assure you that all these are false information. UCC campus is safe. Life is normal.”
He also indicated that the management of the school had put measures in place to ensure the safety of students and all those on campus.
“The university management has invested a lot in technology. There is nowhere on campus that is not covered by CCTV cameras. We have also lightened up every part of the school,” he said, adding, “As much as the administration seeks to ensure the security of the students, they also need to take some responsibility for their personal security.”
Police Denies Reports
The Central Regional Police Command also described as false reports of the robbery attack.
Central Regional Police PRO, DSP Irene Oppong, urged parents and guardians with wards at the University of Cape Coast to remain calm and further indicated that the security measures on campus were apt.
