The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) chapter in Ogun State reported on Tuesday that some thugs were planning to disrupt Prince Dapo Abiodun’s second-term inauguration as governor of the State on May 29.
The students claimed that some members of a yet-to-be-identified cult group who had infiltrated their association were currently collaborating with the opposition political parties in the state to cause mayhem and subsequently unleash terror on some members of the public during the inauguration period. The allegations were made by the students under the auspices of NANS Ogun Joint Campus Committee (JCC) and the National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS).
You Did Great, NANS Tells Buhari And INEC
The government and security officials in the state were urged to look into the issues raised right away so as not to jeopardize the current peace that is being enjoyed in the state, according to a statement jointly signed by the chairman of the NANS JCC and the national president of NAOSS, Damilola Kehinde Simeon and Ogunrombi Oluwagbemileke, respectively. Copies of the statement were obtained by Vanguard in Abeokuta.
The two student bodies in the State named Falola Ahmed as the leader of the hoodlums in the statement, highlighting the fact that “he is notorious for political vendetta and cultism affiliations” in the state.
“We are calling on all security agencies in the state, particularly the Department of State Security (DSS) and Nigerian Police Force to take this statement very seriously as a security alert to investigate the issues raised above to maintain law and order in the state.
“We have been informed reliably that these people have been paid heavily by some politicians in the opposition party to disrupt the peace of the state and stampede the inauguration process later in this month. But because they knew that they would need an association under which they can carry out their shenanigans, they have resorted to using the name of NANS and NAOSS to flag their protest to this end”.
‘Boycott Tinubu’s Inauguration’ – Datti Baba-Ahmed Tells Buhari, CJN
The NANS leadership’s efforts to remove usurpers from their ranks led to the students’ crisis that occurred last Sunday in Abeokuta, the state capital, according to the statement from Kehinde and Ogunrombi. They also cleared Adeyemi Azeez Amoo, Special Assistant to the Ogun State Governor on Students Matters, of being the mastermind behind the incident.
“To start with, Adeyemi Azeez has nothing to do with what happened on Sunday 7th of May, 2023. Falola Ahmed Stainless with some non-credible persons like himself gathered in Abeokuta to impersonate the Senate of NANS in an illegitimate meeting without the consent of the legitimate leaders of NANS in the state”.
“We have only made the move to stop them from gathering when Stainless and his cronies resulted in violence. It is not surprising that the hunter who unluckily became the prey in his own gimmicks is crying foul and wrongly alleging Governor Abiodun’s S.A on Students Matters of plotting his fake attack”.

“On the contrary, we were attacked and had to defend ourselves having gone to their midst to question their rights to organize themselves and impersonate our offices. We know for a fact that if there is any individual that should be arrested, investigated and charged for cultism, it should be Falola Ahmed Stainless for he is a well-known Alora member. We are challenging him to put himself up for investigation on this openly”.
