A 26-year-old Nigerian Master’s student in International Energy Studies at Dundee University, Scotland, has been sentenced to 40 months in prison for terrorism threat by a Perth Sheriff Court.
Okwuoha was said to have been hurt by a fellow student, who rejected his friendship advances.
Sheriff Wood said: “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.
According to the BBC, Okwuoha, who arrived in the United Kingdom in 2021, claimed to have a military background and had enlisted the terror group, ISIS, to help bomb the university. ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is a Sunni jihadist group with a particularly violent ideology that claims religious authority over all Muslims.
He also told staff he planned to target the city in a chemical attack that would make 911 a child’s play.
He was also found guilty of threatening to behead police officers and detonate bombs he had planted at Dundee University.
