A coalition of student groups in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has issued stern warnings to individuals allegedly attempting to incite unrest and disunity among students, urging them to desist or face the collective action of Nigerian students.
Speaking at a press briefing on Monday at the Obi-Mbieri Resort, Airport Road, Abuja, the coalition’s spokesperson, Comrade Mubarak Aliyu, accused Peterside Amachree an aide to former political figure Matthew Ossas Iduoriyekemwen of visiting hostels within the University of Abuja and the College of Education, Zuba, to mobilize students for a planned protest against key aides of President Bola Tinubu.
“We want to seize this opportunity to call on all students to stay clear of any ploy for protests, especially now that our nation is grappling with various security challenges,” Aliyu said.
He also called on security agencies to monitor and, where necessary, act against individuals he described as “enemies of the nation” seeking to destabilize campuses.
The coalition further demanded that Amachree be banned from entering any FCT campuses for any reason. “We cannot allow him to deceive our students or foment disunity,” Aliyu added.
