MAKERERE UNIVERSITY : Police has opened up an investigation on reports that a CoCIS student was paid a sum of 15M Shillings to plant a bomb in Block B of the school at makerere university.
The BIG QUESTION Is : WHAT IS THE POLICE DOING ABOUT IT?
It was not revealed whether or not it is the terrorists who paid this student, but the information on ground suspects it to be true.
Students in makerere University are doing their final year exams and this the police is scared might be used as an oportunity for these terrorists (as we suspect) to target a massive number.
Below is a statement issued by the College Of Computing and Information Sciences Principal.
A statement Released by the School Principal alerting Students and staff about the threat.
Back to the BIG QUESTION.
Times of a threat, a national security threat, the police is very busy making sure everyone who goes inside buildings at the university is thoroughly checked. The entry gates at the University are always blocked to make sure every pedestrian, motolist and all cars are checked for safety. Every student's bag is checked before entering any building.
That has been happening everytime there such a threat.
This on the other hand, is different. No seems to care at all. There is no checking of any sort, no worries at all. I entered the building, I did not see any police officer or any security officials around. About 60% of students entering the building have bags. Who knows what they are carrying inside.
BUT All the police and administration did, was put up a notice like they are alerting a failed paper that needs to be redone. Really, asking students to be vigilant? They are doing their final year exams, who has the time to keep their eyes open and mind focussed on suspicious individuals? Is this a National security issue? May be not, may be It's just a bunch of students. who cares?
Tusaba Government Etuyambe (TGE), and this is for a reasonable cause.
