The University of Lagos has broken its silence on the report of attempted kidnap of a female student on the campus.
A video on social media had claimed that some yahoo boys were apprehended as they attempted to kidnap a student of the university.
But the school, in a statement, denied such a claim, saying there had never been any attempted kidnap of students of UNILAG on campus.
The statement from the communication unit of the university read: “The Management, University of Lagos (UNILAG) wishes to inform the general public that the rumour about an attempted kidnap within the university campus is false.”
The authorities said the incident in the video was a case of social misconduct and physical assault between students, in which one party attempted to flee the scene and was apprehended by the University security towards the Onike gate axis of the University.
It said the case was being handled by the Security Unit and Division of Students Affairs.
