October 3rd, 2022.


MEN OF HARMONY POLICE STATION HAVE A CASE TO ANSWER OVER ATTEMPT TO MURDER A FUNAAB STUDENT

In tandem with global best practices, the security of citizens' lives and properties should be the priority of law enforcement agencies and as such when an average Nigerian meets men of the Nigeria Police, they shouldn't be apprehensive and fearful.

The above is in complete contrast to the day to day experience of Nigerian Students in dealing with Nigerian Police.
Despite assurance of goodwill and professionalism from the upper echelon of the Police Force, we still continue to receive unabated reports of harassments, unprovoked shootings, extortions and in extreme cases, losses of life.

The latest in this string of unfortunate occurrences is the unprovoked shooting of Bakare Samuel Oriyomi, a 200 Level Animal Production and Health student of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta.

Bakare Samuel who is one among millions of Nigerian students who has been unable to access education for about seven months now due to the ongoing ASUU strike was shot severally by men of Harmony Police Station, Alabata on Monday 26th, September 2022 around 10pm.

Rather than resorting to fraud or thuggery, Samuel had engaged himself in Interior Decorations to earn a living and was coming from site when he was accosted by about six officers who parked their patrol van at Isolu Cele junction.

In their usual powerdrunken and overbearing manner and hiding under the darkness of the night, both Samuel and the bike men were shot severally by men of Nigeria Police Force with no questions asked.
This incident which is tantamount to a murder attempt was carried out by men who are supposed to keep murderers away from us.

We have observed with utmost disaffection, the deliberate attempt by Harmony Police Station to completely cover this issue in secrecy and hold no one accountable.
Moreso, there has not been any plan to offer reprieve to the victims who barely survived.

Having given the Ogun State Command of Nigeria Police Force the benefit of doubt to no avail, we're are hereby constrained to begin the mobilisation procedure of the multitude of Nigerian Students in Ogun State for proper action.
We shall not spare any resources and any means available to us under the ambit of the law as Ogun State Command of Nigeria Police Force shall have us to contend with unless the perpetrators are produced.
This is fundamentally necessary before the Nigeria Policemen kill all of us.

Solidarity Forever ✊
