THE Convention Planning Committee (CPC) members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has laid some criminal complaints before the Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Badaru Abubakar, against his SSA on students matters, Mr Ibrahim G. Ibrahim, popularly called Babalolo, insisting that he must be arrested.
Some of the allegations levelled against the SSA, according to a statement, jointly signed by the Coordinator Elect of NANS, Zone A, Comrade Umar Faruk Lawal, and Chairman of the CPC, Comrade Mohammed Yusuf, bothered on criminal intimidation, destruction of property, disturbace of public peace and sponsoring of rioting thugs armed with deadly weapons, during a recent free and fair election won by Umar Faruk of IBB University, Lapai, Niger State, thereby emerging as Cordinator Elect of NANS Zone A.
Based on the criminal allegations, Comrade Yusuf and Comrade Lawal, have called on the Governor to arrest and investigate the SSA and Usman Ayuba to ascertain the allegations levelled against them, and prosecute them and if found guilty.
The duo also demanded that the SSA and Usman Ayuba must take full responsibilities and pay for the damages of the destroyed properties.
The winning Coordinator Elect, who claimed he has pictorial evidence, also alleged that Usman Ayuba has paid some thugs to kill Mohammed Yusuf, CPC Chairman, on the same issue.
Faruk said Usman Ayuba must desist from parading himself as the coordinator of NANS Zone A, adding that “his failure to do that will amount to mobilising Nigerians to do the needful on the matter”
According to information gathered, the SSA created the grievous mayhem owing to the failure of his candidate, Usman Ayuba, a Polytechnic student, to emerge after the convention to elect the Executives of NANS Zone A.
The election involved 10 states and was held at Abdulsalam Abubakar Youth Centre, Minna, Niger State.
However, the valuation of the destruction unleashed by some hoodlums the SSA was alleged to have mobilised was put at N1,200,000.00 only.
ReportersAtLarge gathered that copies of the petition have been recieved in the offices of Inspector General of Police IGP and Director General of Department of State Service DG DSS.
