EKITI, NIGERIA — The management of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has indefinitely suspended all academic lectures, directing students to remain indoors following reported security breaches and activities of armed bandits in the neighboring Ayegbaju and Oye-Ekiti communities.

The security alert, which spread rapidly across student networks with the rallying cry "Ekiti Kete! Stay Safe," has thrown the university community into a state of high vigilance. Local sources report a sudden surge in suspected criminal activities around the campus periphery, prompting swift intervention from law enforcement.

Joint security operatives, including the Nigeria Police Force and local vigilante groups, have heavily deployed to the affected axes to restore order and secure the student residential clusters.

University authorities urge all students to strict compliance:

Remain inside your hostels and avoid transit between Oye and Ayegbaju.

Keep your FUOYE student ID card on your person at all times for easy identification at checkpoints.

Signal any unusual movements or suspicious characters to the university security unit immediately.

Official updates regarding the resumption of lectures will be communicated as the situation is brought under control.
