NANS Condemns the Brutal Attack on KWASU Students by Men of the EFCC, NDLEA and NPF; Calls for Justice

 

 

 

The national body of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) expresses profound dismay and unequivocally condemns the reprehensible and brutal attack unleashed upon the students of Kwara State University, (KWASU) Malete, by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) during midnights operations on Tuesday 20th February, 2024 and Thursday 21st February 2024 respectively.

In direct contravention of the clear directive from the Chairman of EFCC prohibiting midnight operations, The men of EFCC Kwara State command went ahead to carry out an illegal operation in the KWASU students community on the night of Tuesday, 20th February 2024 arrested students and questioned the sources of their wealth without due invitation or following the laid down principle for such operation. It is commendable that the students of the institution valiantly opposed the unauthorized intrusion into their academic environment at the odd hours of the night.

Regrettably, the security operatives (EFCC , NDLEA and NPF) responded and revisited with excessive force, resorting to the deployment of teargas and live ammunition, reportedly resulting in leaving the students with severe injuries.

The NANS National body, while appreciating the doggedness of the school’s students’ union, the audacity of the Kwara JCC categorically condemns this flagrant violation of the fundamental rights of students and demands immediate and resolute action from the authorities concerned. We hereby articulate our comprehensive demands as follow;

1. *Independent Investigation:* We call for an impartial and transparent investigation into the incident, ensuring the full cooperation of all involved agencies and guaranteeing the thorough examination of the circumstances surrounding the brutal attack.

2. *Identification and sanctions of Officers:* We demand the prompt disclosure of the identities of the officers involved in the ill-fated operation to facilitate accountability, necessary disciplinary actions and serve as a deterrent against future transgressions.

3. *Compensation and Medical Support:* Immediate and adequate compensation must be provided to the families of the deceased students, and comprehensive medical support should be extended to those who sustained injuries during the reprehensible attack.

4. *Adherence to Ban on Midnight Operations:* We emphasize the need for strict compliance with the directive from the EFCC Chairman, who prohibited midnight operations. Any deviation from this directive should be met with severe disciplinary measures, else the students will result to jungle justice of treating them as criminals henceforth.

NANS National underscores the urgency of addressing these demands and we are issuing a 48 hour ultimatum for our demands to be addressed. We also call on the relevant authorities to act swiftly and decisively. We insist on justice for the victims and accountability for the perpetrators. NANS National will not shiver in its commitment to safeguarding the rights and well-being of Nigerian students.

We implore all concerned stakeholders, including human rights organizations, civil society, and the media, to stand in solidarity with us as we seek justice and redress for the victims of this heinous act.

*Signed,*

Comrade Ekundina Segun Elvis
NANS National Senate President

The Power of Building Resilience” By Prudent Ludidi

 

Ladies and gentlemen,

Life is unpredictable. It’s full of twists and turns. Some days are easy others are hard.

But no matter what life throws at you, you have a choice, you can let challenges break you, or you can build resilience.

Resilience is the strength to withstand, to bounce back, to adapt, to overcome, it’s the power to face adversity head-on, to transform obstacles into opportunities, to turn setbacks into stepping stones!

Building resilience is not about being invincible. It’s about being human, it’s about acknowledging your vulnerabilities and working on them.

Resilience is built in both small and big moments of the everyday choices we make!

To get up when you’re tired, keep going when you’re struggling, to push through when you’re doubting. It’s built in the habits you form.

It’s important to understand that resilience is not just about surviving, it’s about thriving, growing, becoming stronger, more confident and more compassionate.

When you build resilience, you open yourself up to possibilities, you take risks, you innovate, you create and inspire.

So, how do you build resilience?
You start small.
You take care of yourself.
You practice self-compassion.
You seek support.
You focus on the present.
And you keep moving forward.
One step at a time.
Resilience is not a destination it’s a journey!

Because when you build resilience, you unlock your true potential to withstand unplanned inconveniences in your life.

You become unstoppable.
You achieve greatness.
You inspire others.

And you create a ripple effect of resilience that touches everyone around you.
Remember, resilience is not something you have or you don’t.

It’s something you build, day by day, moment by moment, choice by choice.
So, choose to build resilience, face your fears, push through challenges, choose to rise above obstacles, choose to become the best version of yourself!

You’re capable of thrive and succeed!
