AAUA Student Shot Dead by Unknown Gunmen
A tragic incident has claimed the life of a 300-level Linguistics student at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA). The student, identified only as Emmanuel, was fatally shot by unknown assailants in one of the private student hostels in the area. The motive behind the attack remains unclear.
Comrade Oladele Emmanuel, Vice Chairman of the National Association of Universities Students, has called upon both security forces and the university administration to thoroughly investigate the case and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
Emmanuel emphasized that the death of this student is not merely a personal loss to his family and friends but a profound blow to the entire AAUA community. He underscored that Emmanuel’s potential and contributions to the academic environment are irreplaceable.
“The devastating loss of Emmanuel impacts us all deeply,” stated Comrade Oladele Emmanuel. “It is crucial that we reaffirm our commitment to addressing this tragedy with the full force of the law and a comprehensive investigative approach.
His untimely death is a significant loss, and our deepest sympathies go out to his loved ones during this challenging time.”
The student leader has also urged the university administration to take immediate action to improve campus security. This includes increasing patrols, enhancing lighting around the campus and its peripheries, and ensuring more accessible emergency services.
He encouraged students and members of the AAUA community to come forward with any information that might aid in the investigation, stressing the importance of transparency and promptness in resolving this case.
“We trust that the authorities will act swiftly and with full transparency to address this incident,” he added. “It is imperative that we come together in our sorrow and determination to foster a safer and more secure environment for everyone at AAUA. We owe this to Emmanuel, his family, and our entire community.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
