I have just been briefed that the Magistrate Court in Ekiti State has remanded the immediate past FUOYE SUG President, Comrade Adio, in prison over a matter that he personally instituted before the court.

From the facts available to us, Comrade Adio was the complainant and had no criminal case against him.

It is therefore deeply disturbing that the matter was allegedly turned against him through the actions of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the presiding Magistrate.

We view this as judicial rascality, a gross abuse of due process, and a violation of Comrade Adio’s fundamental rights.

In response to this development, I have immediately directed the NANS JCC Chairman, Ekiti Axis, and the NANS National Head of Administration to begin mobilization.

Peaceful actions will be taken to demand justice, including lawful protests at:

  1. The Ekiti State High Court
  2. The Magistrate Court
  3. The Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP)

These actions will continue until Comrade Adio is released and justice is served.

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) will not stand by while the rights of Nigerian students are trampled upon. We remain committed to defending justice, the rule of law, and the fundamental rights of every Nigerian student.

Aluta Continua!

Signed:

Comrade Akinteye Babatunde Afeez

National President

National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS)
