The Registrar called for a thorough investigation into the cause and circumstances surrounding the incident.
“This is because some unverified reports are linking the names of other students, including Miss Bello Yahaya-Lubabat of the Department of Educational Administration and Planning, to the incident.
“The university firmly dissociates Miss Bello Yahaya-Lubabat and other students from the matter and cautions against the spread of unfounded associations that may harm the reputations of innocent persons.
“We therefore, kindly urge the public and the media to refrain from speculations or drawing premature conclusions until the facts are fully established.
“PAAU remains committed to upholding the values of truth, fairness, and justice, and we respectfully appeal for restraint and responsible reportage as investigations continue.”
