The University of Engineering and Natural Resources (UENR) is grappling with a devastating incident that has rocked its community. A group of around 80 renewable engineering students, returning from a field trip at Bui Dam, fell victim to armed attackers late last night.
The assailants targeted the students upon their return, robbing them of their valuables including phones, laptops, and money. However, the situation took a tragic turn when the robbers attempted to forcefully enter the bus, resulting in the fatal shooting of Abdul Aziz Issah, affectionately known as Zamani, a final year student at UENR.
The loss of Zamani has sent shockwaves through the university, leaving students, faculty, and staff reeling with pain and anguish. As the community mourns the untimely demise of one of its own, tributes pour in, remembering Zamani for his warmth, kindness, and academic prowess. "Rest in power, Zamani," echoes across social media platforms, reflecting the profound impact he had on those around him.
Beyond the heartbreaking loss of a promising young student, the incident highlights the pressing safety concerns facing students both on and off-campus. Despite efforts to ensure the security of students, this tragic event underscores the vulnerability they face in their pursuit of education.
As investigations into the incident unfold, authorities are urged to take swift action to apprehend the perpetrators and ensure justice is served. Additionally, there is a renewed call for enhanced security measures to safeguard the university community and prevent such atrocities from occurring in the future.
">In the wake of this tragedy, the UENR community stands united in solidarity, offering support and comfort to those affected by the senseless violence. As we mourn the loss of Zamani, let us also reaffirm our commitment to creating a safer environment where students can pursue their academic aspirations without fear or apprehension.
May the memories of Abdul Aziz Issah, Zamani, forever remain cherished, and may his spirit continue to inspire us to strive for a brighter and safer future for all. Rest in peace, brother. Rest in power, Zamani.
