NANS Slams LAUTECH Over Student Suspensions, Plans Monday Protest

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has condemned the management of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, over the suspension of a number of students following alleged unrest on campus.

NANS Southwest (Zone D) Coordinator Owolewa Taiwo, who spoke during a press briefing, said the union has exhausted the first two “C’s” of Aluta — consultation and confrontation — in its attempts to resolve the dispute with the university.

Insecurity in Yorubaland: Is Amotekun Still Effective in South-West?

Four years after its creation, the regional security outfit Amotekun (Operation Leopard) is still grappling with the hydra-headed security challenges in Nigeria’s South-West, as kidnappings, killings, and banditry continue to surge across Yorubaland.
