Court Imprisons 16 ABUAD Students In Ado Ekiti by Ekiti360(m): 12:23pm On Feb 14, 2016 |
Years flowed freely inside the Ekiti State Judiciary premises on Friday as a Chief Magistrate’s Court remanded 16 students of Afe Babalola University (ABUAD), Ado Ekiti in prison custody for their roles in the mayhem that rocked the institution last Sunday. They are being prosecuted for attempted robbery, arson and burglary allegedly committed during the riot that occurred on the campus of the private university. They were accused of attempting to rob a branch of Wema Bank located inside the campus, setting houses of ABUAD security staff members ablaze and burglary of a boutique belonging to the wife of the university’s founder, Mrs. Modupe Babalola. Parents of the remanded students broke down and wept profusely as their children were being marched into a Toyota pick-up van belonging to the state command of the Nigeria Prisons Service (NPS) heading for the Federal Prisons, Ado Ekiti. The affected students are to remain in prison custody pending an advice from the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP). The mother of the only female student among the accused persons amid sobs asserted the innocence of her daughter who was said to be in her final year at the university. A distraught mother of one of the embattled students lamented saying: “I have been fasting and praying, why is my child implicated in this case? I have struggled to give him the best education, I didn’t know this is where it would take him. My child is innocent oh!” Reprieve, however came the way of six of the accused persons as Chief Magistrate Adesoji Adegboye, dropped charges against them for the same offences consequent upon an application by the police prosecutor, Samson Osobu. The six were among those earlier granted N300,000 bail on a six-count charge of rioting, possession of firearms and malicious damage. Chief Magistrate Adegboye adjourned the case to Tuesday next week for further hearing calling on the Ministry of Justice to speed up legal advice in order to dispose of the matter as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the alumni association of the university has condemned the riot that rocked the institution leading to destruction of property worth millions of naira. The association warned against misinformation on the social media denying that no student was shot, raped or died during the protest. The body praised the university’s founder, Aare Afe Babalola, for resisting the temptation to close down the university as a result of the crisis. Addressing a briefing on the campus on Thursday, President of ABUAD Alumni Association, Tope Sobajo, called on all stakeholders to join hands with the authorities to get to the root of the crisis. She urged parents, students and members of the public to desist from making “spurious, inflammatory and unsubstantiated claims” urging anybody needing any clarifications to contact the authorities and the police. http://www.ekitionline.com.ng/parents-weep-court-sends-16-abuad-students-prison-ado-ekiti/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

The probability that those students are innocent is high because the lazy Nigerian police are fund of arresting passerby and innocent people close to any crime scene. 82 Likes 6 Shares |

Innocent my foot, if your children sitdown for hostel or dey class reading, the police won't pick on them. Train your child so that you won't bring disgrace upon yourself through them.

It baffles me how over every small thing, Nigerian youths will go on a rampage under the guise of protests. They will loot, destroy or even maim those who attempt to correct them. If those students are innocent I beg for them to be freed but if they aren't, they must be asked to pay for what they destroyed and jailed so as to serve as a deterrent to others. 6 Likes |

Getting job after graduation is extremely difficult in Nigeria. Now this ones have made theirs even more difficult with a criminal record. Sorry case. Typical of most Nigerian youths, hardly thinking beyond their nose. Few weeks ago, those boys were probably pulling off their shirts forming thugs, forming hard men. Now they know better.
