UNIMAID Dismisses Viral Video Linking Students to Boko Haram

UNIMAID Dismisses Viral Video Linking Students to Boko Haram as “Baseless and Mischievous.

The attention of the Management of the University of Maiduguri has been drawn to a misleading and disturbing viral video circulating on Social Media platforms claiming that students of the University were arrested for collaborating with Boko Haram Insurgents.

The University Management wishes to categorically state that the allegations contained in the video are totally baseless, false and mischievous. No student of the University has been found to have links with Boko Haram Insurgents or any other similar groups.

It is important to point out that the University Management has at no time tolerated any form of extremism or violence. On the contrary, University of Maiduguri has been at the forefront of countering violent extremism, promoting peace and supporting national security efforts, particularly in the North East region. The University community consists of disciplined, law-abiding staff and students drawn from diverse backgrounds, all of whom are engaged primarily in academic pursuits. Our students have demonstrated good behavior and remain committed to their studies.

The University therefore urges parents, guardians, unsuspecting readers and the general public to disregard the misinformation and refrain from propagating falsehood regarding this matter. We also appeal to all to refrain from spreading this false narrative due to its negative impact. The University of Maiduguri remains steadfast in its commitment to academic excellence, moral discipline, and the promotion of peace, security, and national unity.

Thank you.
