Members of the National Association of Nigeria Students, NANS and Warri, Delta State indigenes have stormed the Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo State demanding justice for the murder of Alex Timileyin Chamuke Akro, a 200-level student who was beaten up by his mates for allegedly stèaling a phone.
It was gathered that 25 suspects were arraigned on Wednesday, 5th June 2024 for their involvement in the beating which led to the death of Alex who was left in the rain after being beaten.
Demanding for justice, NANS President stated that unjust killing of students in their campuses can no longer be tolerated and said that the leadership will not fold their hands.
“The killing of Nigerian students in their campuses is too much and we want to put an end to it. We are here to get a first hand information from the management of the Institute. Any act of suppression that Alex has passed through, we condemn it in its entirety. The way he was treated, we absolutely condemn it. No parents will allow their child pass through such treatment.”
Meanwhile, a relative of the deceased, had earlier petitioned the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, urging the governor to ensure that those behind the murder were brought to justice.
