Following the arrest of Dr. Mohammed
Nazeef Yusuf, a lecturer at Kogi State University,
Ayingba by the Department of State Service, DSS over
alleged involvement with the Boko Haram sect, the
university authority has dissociated the institution from
the activities of the lecturer and the alleged plan to
carry out terrorists attacks in the state.
Also, the Kogi State University Chapter of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities declared that the suspect
was never an active member of the union.
ASUU Chairman in the university, Dr. Sylvester
Ukwuteno said contrary to report from the other
suspects that Dr Yusuf was a strong member of the
organization, the suspect has never been an active
member of ASUU.
According to him, “the only link between him (Dr.
Nazeef Yusuf) and the association was because
ASUU’s due is deducted at source from lecturers’
salaries. And he, like everyone else has his dues
deducted to make him an automatic member. But he’s
not a strong member as it has been widely claimed. I
cannot remember the last time he attended any of our
meetings”.

Also, the institution in a statement signed by the Vice
Chancellor of the University, Prof. Hassan Isah
admitted that though the suspect, Dr. Mohammed
Nazeef Yusuf who was recently paraded by Security
agent is a lecturer in the institution the governing
council and the management of the school do not
know anything about him beyond his duty as a
lecturer
“The Governing council and the management therefore
condemned and dissociated themselves from all
criminality and terrorism in whatever shape or form,
where ever and whenever it exist.”
The VC noted that it became imperative to respond to
the situation as the alleged involvement of the lecturer
has elicited a lot of enquiries from friends, well-
wishers, students, stakeholders and sister institutions.
“In view of the negative interpretation and implication
for our hard-earned reputation, and the damaging
impression on unsuspected members of the public, the
institution dissociates itself from all criminal and
criminal activities including those of the dreaded Boko
Haram sect.”
He assured that security has been beefed up in the
school with enough surveillance to curtail any attack
from gunmen “In the meantime, the governing council
and management of the institution have strengthened
security and increase surveillance on campus with the
view to stamp out all criminals and criminalities,
including Boko Haram activities. We wish to assure the
general public, particularly all our students, their
parents and guardians, that the campus is safe and
there is no threat whatsoever to human lives and
property.
“Members of the university community are advised to
go about their normal life as the university has
adequate security measures to deal with all criminals
and criminal activities on campus whenever and where
ever they are detected”, he said.
