NAPS MOURN AND PROTEST THE DEATH OF GAPOSA STUDENT

BEING THE PRESS TEXT DELIVERED BY THE LEADERSHIP OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF POLYTECHNIC STUDENTS NAPS. ON THE OCCASION OF PRESS CONFERENCE HELD AT NUJ HOUSE IWEROYIN ABEOKUTA.

Protocol's :

"The future would have no pity for those men who, possessing the exceptional privilege of being able to speak words of the truth to their oppressors, haven taken refuge in an attitude of passivity, of mute indifference and sometimes in cold complicity" (Frantz fanon)

In pensive melancholy, we are moaning and mourning the death of our fallen colleague cut down in the prime of her life by the regicides, primitive and barbaric zombies in human clothing. It is pertinent at this meditational juncture to damn the atrocities perpetrated and may still be perpetrating by the ritualist on innocent defenseless students and citizens of the country.

It's horrible sighting the decomposing remains of our colleague Morenikeji Owolabi reportedly discovered in a shrine at the rustic Eposo village, Ode, in Remo North Local Government Council of Ogun state. Morenikeji, a student of Science Laboratory Technology department at the Gateway Polytechnic, Saapade, who was missing for some days was found by policemen on Tuesday, but in her dismembered and decomposing remains littered at a Shrine.

It is most unfortunate that the student community which is suppose to be abode of protection and defence of students life and property has turned out to be dungeon of death and machinations of destruction, dehumanisation and home of ritualist. Nigerian polytechnic students condemn in totality the killing rituals, butchering and cooking of students.

We solemnly declare this day, that although we have neither guns nor musketeer, we will match confrontation with identical confrontation to anywhere anytime a ritual killing or any inhuman act is identified.

GATEWAY POLYTECHNIC RECTOR A TREAT TO THE LIFE OF HIS STUDENT

The truth remain sacrosanct that students of GAPOSA are frustrates into unholy dealing with the anti students policies of the school management, the rector's frivolous extortion of students and regular intimidation of the Student Union Government are key factors.

The silence of the school management on issue that matter this much in disguise of diplomacy is outrightly uncalled for, facilitation of insurance premium, special compensation and condolence visit to the deceased family still pending are attributes of incapability. Barely two months ago two students were also lost to the hand of death due to the inoperational state of the medical centre of the institution.

  • Student are to pay medical and other irrelevant fees as huge as Nineteen thousand five hundred Naira, a repetition of bills contain in the school fee and yet first aid boxes are wanting in the medical centre
  • Mandatory payment of Jamb regularization fee of Ten thousand Naira flat for all students on campus.
  • An institutions of impoverished standard at that charging the highest polytechnic Tuition fee in southwest region of Fifty-six thousand Naira.
  • Capital abuse of NBTE carrying capacity, and enforcement of handouts on students.
  • Tax clearance as a prerequisite for admission letter or alternative of ten thousand Naira.


Frustrating unbearable policies of the polytechnic are catalysts of shady engagement and capital exposure to risk of life dazzle into by students for their stay on campus to be secured, seek of wealth and protection cover are adoptable option to resists harassment and humiliations from staff and management of the polytechnic.

NAPS POSITION
On the superficial level, power emanates from the barrel of the gun, but on the fundamental level power erupts from the supreme will of the people. It is in the interest of Eposho village and all other communities that condole evil to realize that they are among the wretched of the earth and revolting sect that the Nigerian students are fighting

We value and appreciate the unrelenting efforts of the Nigerian police force to have apprehend suspects connected to this barbaric act, we further appeal other partners in crime and the shrine  herbalist are arrested and brought to book. It also of high necessity we emphasis that the entire Nigeria students are monitoring with keen interest and never will the case established be swept under the Carpet.

We call on the government to beef up the security network in the state to avert future occurrence of this show of shame, barbaric act of ritual killings and man inhuman to man. This callous insensitive barbarous tragedy of low mentality called inhumanity Will never be condone in our society.

The rector of Gateway polytechnic is advise in his own discretion to voluntarily resign from office within now and two weeks time or consider the  school ungovernable as the Secretariat of the association will be shifted down to the school until the government of the state see reason to change the leadership of the institution.
FREEDOM COMETH BY STRUGGLE!!
BY STRUGGLE FREEDOM COME!!!
