The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has condemned what it called extra-judicial killing of four students of Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa by the Police on July 27, 2016.
It also called on the Acting Inspector General of Police to immediately sanction the officers responsible for the killing.
NANS President, Chinonso Obasi, while giving a seven-day ultimatum for justice to prevail, appealed to the Inspector General of Police to sanction the commissioner of police in Nasarawa for allowing the killing in his domain.
His words: “In the event that justice is not done within the next seven days, Nigerian students will have no option than to relocate the National Secretariat of NANS from Ebonyi State University to Nasarawa and equally activate all NANS structures in the country for this cause. Enough of police killing of Nigerian students.”
Obasi stated that four students were murdered by the police while on a peaceful protest to the station to report the killing of a student by a public transporter infront of the school.
According to him, “It was a non-provocative peaceful protest that did not warrant the kind of force meted on the students by the same agency that is responsible to protect them.”
