Four NANS leaders die in road mishap

Date: 2013-06-16

Donald Onukaoguu, the Senate President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and four other students have been killed in a road crash.

The students met their end yesterday on their way to the University of Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State, to intervene in a crisis rocking that institution.

The lone survivor in the accident, who is currently receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, claimed that an illegal road block mounted by the police was responsible for the tragedy.

It would be recalled that yesterday, the police killed several students during a protest organized by students of Engineering at the university. That prompted the decision of the NANS leaders to embark on the urgent trip to Akwa-Ibom.

The Engineering students were protesting against new transport fees and other anti-student policies, including the contentious "No pay, No examination" policy.

Confirming the death of his colleagues this morning, the President of NANS, Yinka Gbadebo, blamed the tragedy on the police. "The police under the current IGP killed nine students within one week; the police action is barbaric and we call for the immediate resignation of the IGP, Mohammed Dikko Abubakar."
