In a communique jointly signed by the Chairman of ASUU-AAU, Professor Monday Igbafen and Secretary, Anthony Aizebioje Coker, ASUU said security had totally collapsed within the campus.
According to the communique, “Congress resolved that the University Administration, based on an existing frosty relationship, the previous attack on the Congress as well as threat to the Union’s leaders, by the University Administration, is a principal suspect of the invasion.
“Consequently, Congress unanimously rejected the Committee set up by the University Administration to probe the invasion of the Union’s Congress for lack of confidence and, in particular, the person that was made the Chairman of the said. Committee.
“Congress therefore demanded for a higher authority (the University Council) to handle the probe of the invasion and the general problem of insecurity of its members within two weeks, failing which the Union will take further necessary action.”
