The University of Port Harcourt, UNIPORT, has refuted report making the rounds that there was an inter gang clash that resulted in the death of students in the institution.
This was contained in a statement by the university spokesman, Dr Sam Kpenu, on Monday in Port Harcourt.
Kpenu was reacting to an online video which claimed that some students of the university recently died during an inter gang clash.
He said that the said incident was a fight between students, expressing worries that it was misreported.
“We are aware of some inaccurate media reports suggesting that some students died during an incident on campus.
“Contrary to these claims, no student was killed or injured, it was a mere fight, it wasn’t a cult clash.
“The university management, the security unit, and the police were swift enough to intervene.
“The students involved in the fight have been apprehended, and are currently being detained and interrogated by the police,” he said.
The spokesman said it was unfair that the incident was misinterpreted by some sections of the media.
According to him, the university was strongly committed to the highest standards of professionalism in handling security matters.
“The university has zero tolerance for cultism, bullying, and any other violent or disruptive behaviour on campus
“The university is calm, staff and students are going about their normal work and academic activities,” he said.
