The NAPS in a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting and signed by its national president Maiyegun Abiodun and   national public relations officer Abosede Oluwaseun said that they have documentary evidence of how their colleague was killed   by the police. The students while reviewing the whole crisis condemned the solidarity visits as anti-progressive  and an attempt to legitimize the   evil perpetuated during the crisis by the police. While describing the closure of the institution as absolutely unnecessary and undemocratic, the students faulted the composition   of the committee set up by the state House of Assembly. The students then resolved as follows: *Demand for the removal of the area commander of Owode Aiyetoro, Yewa South. *Demand for the composition of a panel of enquiry that will include all relevant stakeholders with fair intent and purpose to   investigate the melee’s remote causes, effects and prevention measures. *Compensation for the bereaved family. *We shall soon powerfully mobilize students across Nigerian Polytechnics to the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro to pay our last   respects to our murdered colleague, Afeez Sotayo an ND 1 student. *Immediate and unconditional re-opening of the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro. The students also said that "Governor Daniel should treat issues and not tissues, therefore a call is hereby made for stoppage of   the undue political manipulation of the events. We are in custody of a recorded video clip of the crisis, which will be displayed   and broadcast on television soonest".   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
