attacks. He also revealed that they are being robbed at gunpoint with their
laptops and phone taken away which negatively affects their studies.
“We are being robbed and our
girls raped by criminals every time. We are living in fear, because these boys
come here every time and attack us. They rob us every time on gun point. The
whole incident affects our studies. So we are calling on the police to be
proactive in providing security to us. They also raped some female students.”
