He has been charged with issuing threats of death on behalf of a group identified as Militant African Youth against neo-colonialism.On April 27, police broke into Mr. Brantuo's room at the Commonwealth Hall and seized his computer.Police say they found incriminating evidence on the computer, which they say was used to write the letters threatening the lives of the Vice Chancellor and some lecturers to pressurize the authorities to revoke the new residential policy that.A former student of the University, Lord Hammah who was also arrested by the police last week in connection with the death threats, has since been granted bail.
