National Association of Kwara State Students (NAKSS) at the weekend, demanded for an immediate withdrawal of the men of the Nigerian Army from the campuses of the Kwara Polytechnic, Ilorin.
At a press briefing addressed by the Vice-President of the association,
Comrade Kamal Dosunmu in Ilorin, the
Students’ union leader described the military men as agents of oppression,
intimidation and occupation, who had turned the campuses of the polytechnic to
a warlike zone with the way and manner the military have comported themselves.
According to
him, not even in the Boko-Haram ravaged North-East do soldiers have the kind of
powers of molestation, dehumanisation and open display in the campus. “They
must on or before the last working day of the year 2016, be disengaged and
returned to their barracks. “The invasion and occupation of the Kwara
polytechnic campuses by men of the Nigerian Army is unknown to law, ultra
vires, illegal and uncivil.
“They have only come to dehumanise and distort the
sanctity of an environment which is fashioned to thrive on divergent plethora
of reasoning. The union also demanded for the unconditional reinstatement of
Comrade Imam-Murtador Olarewaju, who he said expelled for being the
Welfare Secretary of the school.
