This is contained in a statement signed and issued by the head, of public affairs of the institution, Akilu A. Atiku.
The statement read in part, “What happened was that the tyre of a moving truck along Dutsinma Road busted around 8.30 pm but mischief-makers capitalised on the incident to spread the rumour about the bomb blast inside the University.”
The university called on the general public to disregard the fake information.
