“In as much as we condole with the family over the loss, the university does not have control outside the school.

“The incident happened in Agbor town. You know when students close and they leave the campus, we don’t have control over them. Only when they are in the university, you can control them. They live according to the rules and regulations of the university, ” the source explained.
