The Chief Executive of the prestigious institution said… “We have a committee that is investigating the matter now and we gave them one week to submit their report. If we run into any hitch, we can use all the resources available to get to where we are going. But once things are running smoothly, we may not need to involve the police.”

“But we must first identify those involved and where they are; if we have any problem doing that, then that is when the university will invite the police.”

“The committee’s one week will elapse by Wednesday. We will brief you about it. I need to state that we have excellent relationship with the police, the DSS and others.”
