Description

The attention of the Cross River State Government has cleared the air on the recent killing of a UNICROSS student.

The State Government in a press release maintained that the report circulating around is misleading, thus painting authorities in a bad light.

The release signed by Dr. Alfred Mboto, Permanent Secretary of Special Services, Governor’s office, Calabar said it is necessary to set the record straight.

The release reads in full:

The attention of the Cross River State Government has been drawn to misleading reports in some national dailies and social media platforms alleging that the Department Of State Services, DSS, shot to death a Student of the University of Cross River, UNICROSS, within the school premises on February 9th, 2023.

The said student was not, after all, an “innocent student” as reports had portrayed him.

To set the record straight, the alleged student is known by the pseudo name, Valley.
