The statement reads: ‘The decision to close the campus came after a careful security assessment by management.

‘To reopen the campus would require careful consideration. This includes taking strong measures against those involved in carrying out acts of looting, arson and violence against members of the university.

‘The decision to reopen the university campus will be announced on the university platforms.

‘As part of its commitment to ensure zero tolerance to ill-discipline, the university will also deal with perpetrators of misinformation.’

An angry mob of students protested against the lack of safety of students living off-campus.

During the protest action, the angry mob looted a tuck shop, broke windows and set a building alight. This resulted in the closure of the campus and the students being sent home.
