NAOSS, NANS protest LASU graduate’s disappearance

Students in Ogun State, under the aegis of the National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS) and the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on Monday protested the disappearance of Quadri Ogunbode, a graduate of Lagos State University, Ojo, Lagos.

The student who disrupted vehicular movement on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway while protesting the disappeance, demanded IGP to order special investigation into disappearance of Quadri Ogunbode.

Addressing newsmen, the National President of National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS) Kehinde Thomas, said, “This call on the IGP, who is also a parent, to intervene in the matter had become imperative after police complicity and compromise was perceived.

“At NAOSS and NANS level, we are smelling foul play and police complicity. The melancholic parents of Quadri have been made to cough out several thousands of naira by the police to track Quadri’s phone to aid their investigations.

“And with the tracking done and some discoveries made, no tangible progress has been made to unravel the mysterious disappearance of one of own in NAOSS.

“Quadri is a member of NAOSS, hence, we are appealing passionately to the IGP to use his office, manpower and technology to unravel the disappearance of this affable LASU graduate.

“As an umbrella body of all Ogun State students, NAOSS cannot sit idly and watch the matter to be swept under the carpet. We will not fold our arms and allow Quadri’s matter to join the swelling number of unresolved disappearances or murder cases in the country.

“While we are optimistic that the intervention of the IGP will yield a fruitful result, NAOSS will not relent to continue to explore all legal means to mobilize relevant stakeholders to take action on the matter”.
