UNIBEN EX BURSAR RECIEVES COFFIN DELIVERY

BARELY 24 hours after two black coffins draped with red strip marks were deposited at the gates of the official residence of the former Bursar of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Dr. May Ifeoma Nwoye , another coffin with an earthenware containing sacrificial items were, on  Friday night, deposited at the door steps to her apartment.
The items in the earthenware include
a dead rabbit, a carved image of a human being, and three eggs.  Nwoye said that she woke up, yesterday morning, to see the coffin and items at her door steps, saying  they were not there before she went to bed.
She told journalists that she immediately contacted the EDHA Police Station whose officials came to the house, took her statement before removing the coffin and the items.
The former Bursar therefore appealed for police protection, saying that those after her life and that of her family were bent on forcing her out UNIBEN at all costs.
According to her, “I then came out to see things for myself only to behold about three black mini- coffins at my front gate.”
Following due process and the normal procedures, I then called the University Chief Security Officer and he was blabbing some incoherent words which I could not understand and the telephone them went off. I called again and the telephone was dead”.
“I then called the Police and they came to see things for themselves and left. While still outside, a security patrol jeep came light grey in colour came and I was happy that at last there was security. But they told me that they were going to the borehole to fetch some water and when we turned to get into the house, the vehicle made a U-turn and in jiffy, the occupants alighted and took away the third mini-coffin and speed off and left two other coffins behind”.
“As I speak to you now neither the University Chief Security Officer nor any officer of the administration has come to see what happened”.

Nwoye disclosed that since the issue of who becomes the next Bursar of the institution came up and she  indicated her interest to be retained, she had been receiving anonymous telephones calls threatening to deal with her if she did not forget her ambition to be re-appointed for second term as Bursar.
Hmmmmmmm...........
