Bichi said, “This issue of informants is worrisome, therefore, we investigated those we are suspecting of giving out their colleagues and students’ information.

”We have found them, and handed over their contacts to one of the security agencies for further investigation.

“But we have not heard anything from the securities. These suspects are our staff. We have strong reasons for accusing them of being informants to bandits,” the vice chancellor revealed.

Contacted, the Police said they were not aware of such an issue but promised to further investigate the matter.

The command’s spokesman, ASP Abubakar Sadiq-Aliyu, who reacted, called on the public to always assist them with information that would end the security challenges.
