The National Association of Nigerian Students, Joint Campus Council, Ondo Axis said it is appalled and deeply saddened by the recent wave of killings targeting students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State.

This is contained in a Saturday statement signed by Chairman, Ondo JCC,
Comrade Adekanye Mayomi.

The association said while the student community was still grappling with the tragic loss of two students who were brutally killed in the university, another female student fell victim to this senseless violence on Friday.

“As a body saddled with the responsibility of overseeing the general affairs and welfarism of all Nigerian students, we strongly condemn these heinous acts and demand immediate action from the Ondo State Government and all security operatives responsible for safeguarding lives and property within the state.

“The incessant killings are a clear indication of a security lapse that must be addressed urgently,” the association said.

In light of these tragic events, NANS implored the Ondo State Government and all relevant security agencies to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of these crimes and implement robust security measures to prevent further attacks on students.

It further urged the authorities to ensure the safety and security of all students within the university and its environs.

Furthermore, the national student body called on the management of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, to organize thorough orientation programs for all students and educate them on safety precautions and lifestyle management.

“NANS will not stand idly by while innocent students are being targeted and killed.

“We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and assure them that NANS will do everything in its power to ensure justice is served.

“We also call on all well-meaning Nigerians to join us in condemning these senseless killings and demanding a safer environment for our students,” the statement further reads.
