A Nigerian student studying for his Masters program in Scotland, Somtochukwu Okwuohan is currently facing jail term and possible deportation after a jury in Scotland, U.K. found him guilty of making terrorist threats against Dundee University.
It was reported that Okwuohan, claimed he had enlisted ISIS to help bomb the university and told staff he planned to target the city in a chemical attack.
The Nigerian student has been found guilty of seven charges and was remanded in custody.
Report says that Okwuohan, will be sentenced next month.
Sheriff William Wood will also consider the Crown’s motion for an order to deport Okwuoha to Nigeria.
A trial heard that Okwuoha told university staff he planned to carry out mass murder on the Dundee University campus.
Okwuoha also claimed he had a military background and was capable of making bombs and unleashing a deadly virus on the city.
Keith Mackle, 58, now retired director of student services, told Perth Sheriff Court he became aware of “serious concerns” in the autumn of 2021.
He said staff members received emails making terrorist threats.
One said: “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.”
