MAKERERE University has become a target by terrorists, the Chief Security officer of the University, Mr. Bahimbise Johnson has warned. The terrorists who have enlisted the university as one of their targets often use boda boda riders as accomplices to fulfil their acts of terror once they reach the premises of the university.
“Most crimes which have been committed herein have always had involvements of such boda boda riders. Very rarely they are on the subject of investigations,” Bahimbise’s a communication to the administrators and security contingent at the university read. He added that some of these terror suspects were commanded by an insider with an intention to assault a security guard who was lawfully on duty and they vowed to continue.
“Most of our female students and female staff have been victims to their practices,” Bahimbise reiterated.
He asked the university community to be wary of them by not disclosing their areas of residence to such suspicions individuals as they would easily fall prey to acts terror. Other areas like embassies, banks and micro-finance institutions, major restaurants and hotels in the city have put measures to keep them far from their premises.
However, it has become increasingly difficult to clear the boda bodas from the university as some community members also own motorcycles, which they use as their transportation means. Nevertheless, they risk having their motorcycles being impounded to ease their operation against boda bodas.
When contacted by the Daily Monitor over the phone, Prof Livingstone Luboobi, the university Vice-Chancellor, declined to elaborate on the matter, saying he will do so once he is informed.
