Following several cases of insurgency in Borno state, the Kwara State Government on Thursday dispatched a delegation to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, to evacuate its students at the University of Maiduguri.

The Commissioner for Information, Prince Tunji Moronfoye who made this known to newsmen, said the delegation left Ilorin for Maiduguri on Wednesday morning. 

The delegation, according to him, was provided with enough logistics to enable it evacuate the students with ease and at once. 

Moronfoye added that the delegation and the students would be expected back in Ilorin immediately. 

It was gathered that the students had earlier sent an S.O.S (distress call) via text messages to the state government through government officials expressing fears over their safety, following massive attacks on Maiduguri last weekend.
