Following the armed robbery attack on some UENR Students who were returning from an academic field trip from the Bui Power Authority on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, the University Management has held meetings with the Bono Regional Minister, Hon. Justina Owusu-Banahene and the Regional Police Command led by ACP/Mr. George Andrews Kumah (2IC) to discuss the way forward in managing the disturbing incident.
Among the issues discussed were arrangements for the deceased student, continuous counselling for the remaining victims and police investigations to arrest the culprits as well as other measures to ensure that life normalises for the victims.
