The Community of the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Owerri West Local Government Area, Imo State, is gripped in palpable fear.
This was made public in an internal memo to the Polytechnic Community signed by the Public Relations Officer, Nwosu E.B., and copied to all stakeholders.
In the Memo dated, 23rd, June, 2021, Nwosu says there are intruders within the Polytechnic community, who say they came to sell dry meat.
He did not quite say how the Polytechnic’s Internal Security Personnel allowed them access to the Campus, but he said the attention of the Polytechnic Management was drawn to their presence by the Polytechnic’s Internal Security Personnel.
He said the strangers who claim they come from Aba, Abia State, to sell meat, refused to eat the meat when asked to do so.
The three- paragraph memo, titled Security Alert, therefore, advised the Community to be careful of what they eat in the Campus.
It reads: “Information reaching the Management of the Polytechnic from our Internal Security Network confirms that there are suspected intruders parading themselves as dry meat sellers. on the campus. The Security personnel interrogated the so-called meat-sellers who claim to come from Aba, and thereafter, compelled them to eat the meat, and they all vehemently refused.
“The Polytechnic Community is, hereby, advised to be careful of what they eat, especially, in the campus. The safety of staff and students of this great institution remains the priority of the Management.
Please, be guided.
The Federal Polytechnic Nekede is one of the most respected Polytechnics, academically, in the country but it has recently been enmeshed in cult activities by students which has made the Institution vulnerable to violence.
