In a statement issued by the Global President of the University of Jos Alumni Association, Gad Peters, the association strongly condemned the incident, describing it as a senseless and reprehensible act.

Peters said the alleged killing was contrary to the core values of the University of Jos and called for those responsible to be held accountable.

He said:

“Violence has no place within our University community and stands in direct contradiction to the values of excellence, character, mutual respect, and humanity upon which the University of Jos was founded.

“We wish to state unequivocally that the University of Jos Alumni Association does not condone violence in any form. No grievance, disagreement, or circumstance can ever justify the taking of a human life.

“We call on the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough, transparent, and impartial investigation into this incident and ensure that everyone found culpable is brought to justice in accordance with the law. Accountability is essential not only to honour the memory of the deceased but also to preserve the safety and integrity of our University community.

“As Great Josites, we stand united in rejecting violence, upholding justice, and promoting a culture of peace, responsibility, and respect for the sanctity of human life.

“Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the family, friends, colleagues, and the entire University community.”

The alumni association urged the relevant authorities to ensure justice is served, stressing that accountability is necessary to protect the integrity of the institution and safeguard members of the university community.
