Babcock University Debunks Fake Zombie Outbreak Rumour, Fake Fire Incident – Resumption Not Postponed

Babcock University Debunks Fake Zombie Outbreak Rumour and Fake Fire Incident.

The attention of Babcock University has been drawn to a discredited social media post with an AI generated picture of a fire incident on our campus.

The publication alleges—falsely—that the University has postponed the resumption of students, apparently, for the second semester 2025/2026 academic session due to the alleged fire incident.

The University categorically condemns this depraved publication as a complete mischief and falsehood, deliberately crafted to mislead and misinform our students, their parents/guardians, and the general public.

The University wishes to reiterate that it operates well-defined, credible, and verifiable official channels of communication through which information is disseminated to students, parents, staff, and the general public. The University does not communicate official decisions through anonymous or unofficial platforms.

Furthermore, the resumption date earlier communicated to students prior to the first semester holidays, as clearly contained in the University’s current Academic Calendar, remains sacrosanct.

Students and their parents/guardians are therefore advised to disregard entirely the fabricated story circulating online as it has no basis in truth or reality.

For the avoidance of doubt, there was no fire incident and there is no fire incident whatsoever in any of the campuses of Babcock University.

The University’s campuses are safe, secure, and fully prepared to receive students as scheduled on Monday, January 12 through Wednesday, January 14, 2026.

The University strongly cautions purveyors of misinformation to desist from fabricating and spreading unfounded and malicious claims, and advises members of the public to be vigilant and rely only on official University communications channels for accurate information.

Babcock University remains one of the most secure and proactive universities in Nigeria and will continue to act at all times in the best interests of its students, parents, employees and the general public.
