Villagers living close to Main Campus have accused students of stealing chicken belonging to them. According to the residents of the Mabatini village (Mabs), the students have been stealing chicken that roam around bushes neighbouring the students’ hostels during the day.
The residents claim that in the past few weeks, chicken have been disappearing at an alarming rate. They have linked the widespread disappearance to students who visit the village shopping centre to buy vegetables and other foodstuffs.
Furthermore, feathers of slaughtered chicken have been spotted near the Campus residential areas. The infuriated residents have now vowed to thoroughly discipline any student who will be found stealing chicken to serve as a lesson to others who might want to indulge in the act.
A student leader who spoke to The 3rd Eye on condition of anonymity attributes the increased theft in the area to the continued delay of loans disbursement to students by the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). He says this has forced some students to go stealing as a means of surviving the harsh economic times currently experienced by a section of the students in the institution.
