The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on police in Osun State to ensure due diligence in the investigation of the cause of death of their collaugue, Timothy Adegoke.<\/p>\n
Adegoke, an Abuja-based master\u2019s degree student at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), had travelled to Ife on Nov. 5 to sit for an examination. The student was however declared missing after friends and family members could not reach him.<\/p>\n
The deceased had lodged at a hotel in Ile-Ife between Oct. 22 and Nov. 5, when he was declared missing. His dead body was later discovered by the police<\/p>\n
The NANS South-West Coordinator, Olatunji Adegboye, made the demand at a news conference in Abeokuta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Adegboye insisted that anyone found culpable in the murder of Adegoke, no matter how highly placed should be punished according to the law of the land.<\/p>\n
He said the student body would resist any attempt to cover up any evidence in the investigation of Adegoke\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to declare that the entire southwestern Nigerian students are closely observing the process as it unfolds and will not hesitate to take to the streets if we smell foul play\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, we are closely monitoring the developments and we shall not hesitate to resist any attempt to subvert justice through every lawful means, including rally, demonstration and protest. Most importantly, justice must have its full course so as not to set a dangerous precedent,\u2019\u2019 Adegboye said.<\/p>\n
