The UK Government is set to deport a 26-year-old Nigerian Masters student, Somtochukwu Okwuoha, who threatened to blow up Dundee University in Scotland. He was sentenced to 40 months in jail by the Perth Sheriff Court in UK on Friday, after being found guilty of making terrorism threats against staff and students of the school.
The international student claimed to have a military background and the capability to make bombs and unleash a deadly virus on the city.
According to witnesses, Okwuoha claimed to have “enlisted the terror group ISIS to help bomb the university” and informed the school staff of his plan to “target the city in a chemical attack”.

A 58-year-old retired director of student services, Keith Mackle, told Perth Sheriff Court he became aware of “serious concerns” concerning Mr Okwuoha in the autumn of 2021.
He said staff members received emails making terrorist threats.
“Expect a massive bomb explosion at the University of Dundee I have contacted ISIS terrorists to plant bombs on campus.
“I can assure you staff and students will die in great numbers. 9/11 will be a joke compared to what will happen.
“Blood will spill and flesh will be scattered,” one of the emails read.
Shane Taylor, an accommodation officer, told the court that Mr Okwuoha accused him of being racist and said he planned to wipe out Scottish people as revenge.
Sheriff William Wood told the convict: “Your presence in the United Kingdom is not conducive to the public good, and I make a recommendation for your deportation in due course.”
Okwuoha, who was also said to have threatened a fellow female student who refused his advances, was informed by the Sheriff, “You were abusive towards her and tried to have her removed from her university course.”
“The university decided to suspend you from your course, and you turned your attention towards staff,” he added.
