A trial heard that Okwuoha told university staff he planned to carry out mass murder on the Dundee University campus.

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.”
