National Association of Nigerian students Stands in Solidarity with Mr. Jesam Micheal in Pursuit of Justice

The National Association of Nigerian Students issues this statement to express unwavering solidarity with Mr. Jesam Micheal, CEO of AAS, amidst recent events of financial malpractice.

Mr. Jesam Micheal, a respected figure within the Nigerian youth and crypto community, has been a beacon of trustworthiness and integrity in his dealings. His platform, AAS, an online arbitrage investment platform with a global presence, has positively impacted countless lives by providing honest and timely returns to its investors.

Mr. Jesam Micheal’s decision to entrust Mr. Abayomi Oluwasesan with access to the AAS platform was not taken lightly. It came at a time when Mr. Jesam, facing a serious health challenge requiring surgery, had to make difficult choices regarding the management of his affairs. In an act of goodwill and trust, Mr. Jesam believed that Mr. Abayomi would act in the best interest of the investors on the platform during his absence. This decision was a testament to Mr. Jesam’s character and his dedication to upholding transparency and accountability in his business dealings.

However, the betrayal of this trust by Mr. Abayomi Oluwasesan is nothing short of reprehensible. What began as an act of compassion and solidarity during a challenging period for Mr. Jesam quickly turned into a nightmare for the investors on the AAS platform. The deliberate exploitation of Mr. Jesam’s vulnerability underscores the depths to which some individuals are willing to sink in pursuit of personal gain. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of exercising caution and diligence, even in seemingly benevolent circumstances.

The actions of Mr. Abayomi Oluwasesan represent a blatant violation of the principles of integrity and honesty that are fundamental to our society. By preying upon the trust placed in him by Mr. Jesam Micheal and the investors on the AAS platform, Mr. Abayomi has caused immeasurable harm not only to individuals but also to the integrity of our financial ecosystem. His actions have eroded confidence in legitimate investment opportunities and have underscored the need for robust safeguards against fraudulent activities, particularly within the rapidly evolving landscape of cryptocurrency and online investments.

In light to address the recent disturbing events surrounding a viral assault video that has circulated on social media. It has come to our attention that there are misleading narratives regarding the true victims involved in this unsettling situation.

Contrary to what has been portrayed, it is essential to clarify that Mr. Jesam Michael, the CEO of Afriq Arbitrage System, and the numerous investors affected by this unfortunate incident are the true victims in this unfolding saga. Mr. Michael, as the complainant in a case before the Federal High Court, Abuja, has endured cyberbullying and cyber stalking orchestrated by individuals who have spread false and incriminating messages against him, despite never being investors of the company.

Regrettably, Barrister Maxwell Opara has chosen to advocate for these individuals, allegedly motivated by monetary gains, despite being fully aware of the truth of the matter. It has come to light that Mr. Opara and the accused were purportedly collaborating on behalf of a confessed fraudster, Abayomi Oluwasesan, who admitted to embezzling $87 millionf of investors’ funds under Mr. Michael’s management. These investors span over 540 countries, states, and provinces worldwide.

Mr. Michael’s unwavering commitment to seeking justice has unfortunately led to backlash from Mr. Oluwasesan and his associates, who have resorted to blackmail and fabrications on social media in an attempt to undermine Mr. Michael’s credibility. Despite facing threats to his life, Mr. Michael remains resolute in his pursuit of justice and urges those who doubt the validity of his claims to seek clarification from the appropriate legal authorities.

I kindly ask for your discretion and cooperation in disseminating the accurate information regarding this matter. The truth deserves to be brought to light, and justice must prevail for all those impacted by these distressing event.

As we call for justice to be served in this matter, we also urge regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies to redouble their efforts in combating financial crimes and protecting the interests of investors. It is incumbent upon us as a society to hold perpetrators of fraud accountable for their actions and to ensure that victims receive the restitution they rightfully deserve. Only through swift and decisive action can we deter future instances of financial malpractice and uphold the principles of fairness and accountability that underpin our collective well-being.

Furthermore, we urge members of the public to exercise caution and due diligence in their financial dealings, especially within the burgeoning crypto space. It is imperative that we remain vigilant against opportunistic individuals who seek to exploit others for personal gain.

In conclusion, the National Leadership of National Association of Nigerian Students, reiterates its unequivocal support for Mr. Jesam Micheal and his pursuit of justice. We stand shoulder to shoulder with him and the affected investors, unwavering in our commitment to uphold honesty, integrity, and accountability within our society.

Sincerely Yours in Nation Building,

Dist. Sen. Ekundina Segun Elvis
President of the Senate, NANS National.

Comrade Leo Kolawalole Mayowa
Assistant Secretary General, NANS National.

Buratai Reiterates Support For President Tinubu’s Position Against Foreign Military Bases

Nigeria’s former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has pitched for Nigeria’s strategic autonomy and counselled the President Ahmed Bola Tinubu-led federal government not to allow any foreign military forces in its sovereign territory.

Buratai’s position came against the backdrop of recent allegations by some Northern leaders that the US and French governments had been lobbying Nigeria to sign new defence pacts, clearing the way to redeploy their expelled military forces from the Sahel.

“Nigeria should not allow any foreign force on its soil. I commend the federal government for its stand against the reported planned redeployment of the US Forces that are being withdrawn from the Niger Republic to Nigeria,” the soldier-diplomat, who was also Nigerian Ambassador to the Republic of Benin, exclusively told THISDAY.

He added that, “The Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation made it very clear that Nigeria had no plan to harbour US troops on our soil.”

In a recent letter to President Tinubu, a crop of northern leaders warned that the presence of foreign military bases would worsen already strained relations between Nigeria and Niger Republic as well as neighbouring Francophone countries and asked the president to prioritise the nation’s security over “short-term strategic alignments,”

In an interview with a national television last Tuesday, David Greene, US chargé d’affaires in Nigeria, refuted the reports.

“I am not aware of any such conversation, and I am not really sure whose purpose it serves to agitate on this point,” he said.

But Buratai holds that given Nigeria’s continental and regional clout, strategic autonomy remained the best doctrine from which to manage an increasingly disruptive international geopolitical theatre.

To buttress his position, the former Chief of Army Staff recalled that in 2014 and 2015, the Nigerian government asserted its sovereign autonomy and declined the deployment of UN or AU international peacekeeping force to fight Boko Haram.

“The Nigerian government rejected the deployment of a UN or AU international peacekeeping force to fight Boko Haram in 2014 and 2015.

“The birth of the new MNJTF with its HQ in Ndjamena was the solution to a foreign force deployment that could have placed these foreign forces as inter-position force between the Boko Haram territory and the Nigerian territory.

“The implication of this is that it could have given territorial legitimacy to the insurgents.

“Similarly, as COAS, I had to quickly recover Gamboru-Ngala from the insurgents in order to prevent the deployment of the Chadian Forces on the Nigerian soil. The MNJTF Concept of Operation was to have 3 Sectors.

“Sector 1 deployed in Cameroon’s Far North Region, comprising all Cameroonian troops. Sector 2 was to be deployed in Ngamboru-Ngala on Nigerian territory, comprising all Chadian troops. Sector 3 was to remain in Baga in Northern Borno State, comprising all Nigerian troops.

“Having denied the Chadian forces deployment on Nigerian soil, Sector 2 was then deployed in Baga Sola in the Lac Region of Chad.
