The National Association of Nigerian Students in Oyo State Axis has condemned the illegal invasion and arrest of students and their leaders in Ibadan, Oyo State by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, describing it as unconstitutional and witch hunting on the students populace.
In a statement on Thursday by the axis Chairman, Adeleke Quadri Abidemi (Asiwaju) queried the action of the commission which is becoming rampant on the students and the leaders.
In the press release which was released to newsmen and reads in part;
NANS JCC OYO STATE CONDEMN ILLEGALITY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY ACTION OF EFCC IN THE STATE.
NANS OYO JCC condemn the illegal raid of Economic financial Crime Commission (EFCC) earlier today, it was understood that the commission is raiding the student populace ,this raiding is unconstitutional actions in Southwest states, we say enough is enough of the illegalities and marginalization of southern part of dear Nation, Nigeria.
Before now, we have being working in collaboration with EFCC towards Zero Crime Community, thereby eradicating crime. Of a sudden, they have turn themselves to political tool to destabilize student leaders in the Southern Part of Nigeria.
Today’s raid was targeted at students and its leaders and all efforts to get in touch with the commission have yielded no result.
We are calling on the commission to stop this ILLEGAL arrest they have embarked upon, if this continues we will have no other option than to occupy the street of south west till our demands are met. Is not a crime for us as students to speak out of illegal arrest of the People in Southern Part of Nigeria.
This step is nothing but witch hunting to distract, disorganize and stop the good work of a foresight and students in the state.
We hereby Condemn this Act of EFCC in totality, EFCC should Be more Professional in carryout their Investigation and Arrest.
Signed
