Some students of Nigerian higher institutions who staged a peaceful protest on Friday in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, over the 88-day-old strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities and other trade unions, have accused some unnamed soldiers of attempting to run over them with their vehicle.University of Ibadan
“Good evening Nas. I have not received such information please. I will make effort to confirm from Ibadan.”Meanwhile, ASUU has condemned the alleged harassment of the protesters, urging security operatives to respect the fundamental rights of Nigerians to assemble and protest against government policies, actions and inactions that are found to be bad.
“We were surprised that a father, whose child may also be home as a result of this unfortunate and avoidable strike, would attempt to kill protesting students. Is it to protect his job or what? What about his future and the future of this country? This will not stop us,” the student said.
The statement, which is titled; “Need for Extreme Caution, Democratic Civility and Sensitivity in Handling Students’ Protests,” and signed by the zonal chairman, Adekoya Odulaja, noted that the protests were forced on the students as a “consequence of government’s insensitivity to the three-month-old ASUU strike.”
ASUU said it is in solidarity with the protesters, and that it keeps monitoring the protests and observed that they have been peaceful and orderly so far.“We, therefore, urge the Army and Police High Commands to issue stringent directives of caution to their operatives who have made two to three attempts at attacking students in order to avoid unnecessary accidents.“The attempt to crush students with an Army van today at the gate of University of Ibadan is shameful, condemnable and disgraceful.
Mr Asefon has also threatened to lead his members to disrupt any political party primary in Abuja, as the parties plan ahead of the 2023 general elections in the country.
Hmmmmmm they are good at that yet they cannot run over BH.
