In a recent court ruling, Somtochukwu Okwuoha, a 26-year-old Nigerian Master’s student at Dundee University, Scotland, has been sentenced to 40 months in prison by the Perth Sheriff Court in the United Kingdom. The court found Okwuoha guilty of making bomb threats targeting Dundee University.

The court heard that Okwuoha had formed a friendship with a fellow student, and when his advances were rejected, he turned his attention to university staff. Following his suspension from the course, Okwuoha escalated his threats, including plans to plant bombs and use chemical weapons in the city.

Sheriff William Wood, presiding over the case, emphasized the severity of Okwuoha’s actions, stating, “Your presence in the United Kingdom is not conducive to the public good,” and recommended his deportation upon completion of the 40-month sentence.

The witness, Keith Mackle, a retired director of student services, testified that serious concerns arose in the autumn of 2021 when staff members received threatening emails. One message warned of a “massive bomb explosion at the University of Dundee,” claiming contact with Isis terrorists and predicting a tragedy surpassing 9/11.

The severity of Okwuoha’s threats has raised significant concerns, leading to the recommendation of his deportation. The court’s decision underscores the importance of addressing threats to public safety and maintaining the security of educational institutions.
