Academic work in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) just got restored to normalcy on Monday, November 19, 2018, but fear has once again gripped students of the University after a terrorist hinted of bombing the University Wednesday, November 21, 2018.

The threat was issued through a social media app, Jodel and the screenshot from the jodel app is making rounds about a student who wants to kill people today using cyanide and this is making students contemplate boycotting lectures.

Jodel is a social media app which hides the identity of users so it is unclear as to who posted those threats yet students are not treating the message lightly.

This mystery student seems to have a problem with the school and states that “some students live a callous life ”

“A lot of you are going to die in KNUST tomorrow for all the pain you’ve caused me all these years… In our hearts, we are filled with hatred for all you maggots. Why hasn’t there been a school shootout in this country?… Death en mass…. Now is the time to wish your loved ones’ goodbye… It’s too late to be sorry, we already have given you enough chances to repent. And there is no mercy for anyone… I’m going to use cyanide gas to kill all of you… We will attack in the various lecture halls… We cannot be stopped. We will not be stopped. 21-11-18 I’ll make sure you people never forget this date. Some of you deserve to die for your callous nature”.

The post ends with the hashtags #ashwednesday.

On the various student platforms, some have called on the appropriate authorities not to make light of the situation juxtaposing that to recent heighten events in the University.
