Justice Served University ordered to pay student N2.1m compensation for study delay

TheUniversity of Amsterdam(UvA) has been ordered to pay N2.1 million (10,000 euros) in compensation to a student of the institution for delaying his studies.

"He was giving details about his said car that was snatched when one of the policeman walked in and sighted him and immediately raised the alarm about suspect and his nefarious activities pointing out that he was one time duped by the suspect who then reported a case of his car being snatched and later begged him to assist him financially that he was going to get across him to reimburse him which he never did and that he has not seen him till now.
The suspect confessed during investigations.
