According to Daily Post , the hostel is mostly
occupied by female students of the
University of Port Harcourt, and the
Robbers struck at a time when the students
had all just returned from a long closure of
the school.
Some of the items taken from the females
who occupy 8 out of the 9 rooms in the
building, include laptops, mobile phones,
ATM Cards, cash, clothes, electronics and
other valuable items.
“ I was in my room when one of neighbours
sent me a text message that there are some
people in the compound, but she doesn’t
know who they are,” one of the students told
Daily Post.
“ I didn’t really take it serious. It was when
she called me and said the same thing that I
now realised the seriousness of her
message. Before I knew it, some young boys
with guns and machetes just stormed my
room and took my money, my laptop and
other things,” she continued.
“ That was how they entered seven other
rooms ,” she added.
It is unclear if the police were alerted
following the invasion because as at the
time of the publication, no arrests had been
made.
