The Joint Campus Council (JCC) Ondo axis of the National Association of Nigerian Students has commended the Ondo State Police Command for its prompt action in apprehending assailants that violently attacked Nigerian students in Ogbese community of Ondo State.
Comrade Oluwarotimi Joshua, the NANS JCC chairman appreciate the swift and proactive steps deployed by security agencies in identifying and arresting the perpetrators.
He noted he prompt response of the man and officers of the Nigerian Police Force solidifies the belief that no man is above the law and that violence against Nigerian students will not be allowed.
He said, “However, while these arrests mark a significant step in the right direction, we emphasize that justice must not only be initiated but fully carried out.
“The NANS JCC Ondo Axis remains resolute in ensuring that every attacker involved is held accountable to the full extent of the law. We reiterate that our seven-day ultimatum is still in effect, and we expect swift prosecution of the culprits. Arresting them is not enough—justice must be served transparently, ensuring that such incidents never reoccur.
“We urge the Ondo State Government, the Commissioner of Police, and all relevant authorities to expedite legal proceedings and guarantee that these individuals face the full weight of the law.
“Until our demands are fully met, our resolve remains unshaken. If, after the expiration of our ultimatum, justice is delayed or denied, we will have no option but to take lawful actions, including a mass protest, to assert our rights and demand accountability.
“The safety and dignity of Nigerian students remain our top priority. This incident should serve as a strong message that any act of aggression against students will be met with firm resistance and consequences.
“We appreciate all Nigerian students for their solidarity and patience as we navigate this critical moment. The leadership of NANS JCC Ondo Axis will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that justice prevails and that Nigerian students can move freely without fear of violence or intimidation.”
