The Father of Nigerian Students-FONS, Chief Dr. Patrick Osagie Eholor otherwise known as Ultimate Equal has called both the EFCC to release the students arrested in Federal University of Technology, Akure.
The EFCC operatives who broke in the FUTA on Tuesday to raid or arrest some students, this is very wrong as it is a violation of the university rule. Although if there is a reason or reasons why EFCC or any other security agent should arrest Students on any campus, the permission has to be given by the school authority, lead by the Vice Chancellor.
Dr. Eholor said in his statement that "We need to reform all our security operatives not just the Nigerian police, this video captures EFCC Operatives invading Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) at night.
"This is very wrong in an environment where laws do work. EFCC raiding university at Night and he the University Chancellor is doing nothing about it? It clearly shows that the student in that university are not safe.
"As Father of Nigerian Student I hereby call on the university chancellor to do the needful by writing to the EFCC boss to effect the release of those student with immediate effect and also sue the EFCC to court for undermining the VC authority and bringing weapon into a student environment.
"And to the EFCC Boss you should do well to go through the right channels before you invade any university, why not invade those politicians that are corrupt? Corrupt politicians are walking freely while you are chasing after our youth. We all must resist this and teach EFCC how to their work since their boss cannot stand up and call his boys to order!
"Nigeria cannot continue especially the security Forces, they are the Defence of every country of which are supposed to protect the people and not oppress them.
Speaking with the the National President of All Campus Show(ACS) Nigeria, Hon. Busuyi Ojo-Jobus also condemned this act by the EFCC operatives, he also lamented the situation of this country as he emphasize on illiteracy as one of the things that kill Nigeria.
In his words, he asked the EFCC to "...release Students arrested in 24 hours and they know what that means, we cannot be displaying madness and think it is normal, what is the excuses that the EFCC will give for trespassing the campus law? are they not learned, didn't they know what it means to violate law, our students are not thieves, we produce the best Students in the world and if there is anything you need from any student on campus, you will go through school authority, not just behave like illiterate, and this should be the last time that should happen, it is a warning, not a threat."
