A PRESS STATEMENT ON THE RECENT TRAGIC DISCOVERY OF MISSING STUDENTS’ BODIES
It is with deep sorrow that the Students’ Union has received the devastating news, as reported by The Nation Newspaper, regarding the discovery of the lifeless body of our missing colleagues. This heartbreaking news has cast a shadow of sorrow across our entire academic community.
We wish to categorically state that the Students’ Union has never been ignorant of nor indifferent to this tragic incident. From the moment the disappearance was brought to our attention, we have acted with urgency and responsibility. Our leadership engaged immediately with the appropriate security agencies to ensure that every effort was made to locate the student safely.
Specifically, we reached out to the anti-kidnapping squad in Akure, which has the mandate and expertise to handle such sensitive cases. In addition, we alerted all relevant security formations within the state. We can confirm that the newly appointed Commissioner of Police has been fully briefed on the situation and is taking the matter seriously.
We also reached out to the Nigerian police (Scorpion squad) in Akure. These engagements were aimed at ensuring that the case received the attention it deserved and that a coordinated response was initiated across multiple security agencies.
As we continue to process this painful news, we urge all students and members of the university community to remain calm and avoid circulating unverified information. The Student Union is in close contact with official sources and will disseminate only accurate and confirmed updates as they become available.
We understand the level of pain, confusion, and anger this news may cause, but we must remain united and resolute. The Union assures every student and stakeholder that we are committed to ensuring that justice is pursued relentlessly. No stone will be left unturned until the truth is uncovered and accountability is achieved.
Yours in struggle.
