​STUDENTS of the Federal University of Technology Akure, FUTA, in Ondo State, yesterday, decried incessant harassment and breach of their fundamental human rights by officers of the Nigeria Police Force in the state.

The students, under the aegis of Concern for Human Rights, CHR, accused the security agents of harassing their colleagues at FUTA North and South gates.

The CHR President, David Belele speaking on behalf of the students told newsmen in Akure “that it is imperative for the student populace to be sensitized.

Belele said: “The security agencies in FUTA hemisphere, the South Gate, and the North Gate, are terrorizing young Nigerian youths. There is a need for us to come together as people who believe that the right of the people should not be tampered with.

“Several times they asked the students to bring out their phones for search. The last time I checked the Police Act, Part 4, Section 28, it does not give a right for the police to search Nigerian citizens.

While narrating his experience, Balele said “on my way going to the School of Health three days ago, I met some security agencies on the road and they asked me to bring out my phones. I told them they don’t have any right to ask for my phone.”

Continuing, he said: “They threatened to shoot me. But as far as I am concerned, we have to stop the illegal harassment and intimidation in FUTA environment and beyond.”

We’re investigating allegations—Police

Reacting, spokesperson of the Ondo Police Command, Mr. Femi Joseph confirmed that a complaint had been lodged and that “the Commissioner of Police had taken strict measures to investigate the allegations.

Any police officer indicted in the allegations would be properly dealt with after the thorough investigation.”

This menace of police and SARS harassment has made this country difficult for youths to live in. They don't want to see youths driving, u r assumed to b a fraudster. On Sunday police threatened to deal with us if we don't open our phones for dem. What kind of country are we in?
Plz is thr anywhere we can register our complaints on social media? This issue is getting out of hand. Only if we had a sincere govt who can come to our aids.

Why should we click like? Will like bring justice to us?

Truth be told, many of our intuitions are like old brothels. the policemen might be acting on a command. they are fighting the policemen disregarding that the order came from the oga at the top. it may be the VC who asked for this.

but in all, it is wrong and I applaud the students for speaking out and standing for their rights. only if they come together and get video recording of these acts so that people can actually see. Aluta contunua.

great futarian

As if they are not together
Those guys share the money they collect as bride among themselves.
They will force you to write that u are involve in cyber crime and start asking you for bride.
I fear Nigerian police
If there will be any reason for me to leave this country
It will be Becos of them, you cant ride ur dad car. U are in hell
No thanks to our yahoo boys tho
Those that are meant to protect us.
I was in a cab few months ago at Osogbo, the driver didn't give the police man money and the police man said he will change it for the man one day.
So many other instances.

I can relate to this story because I'm running my MS. C program in futa and I have witnessed this several times so police are not investigating anything because they know about it.

Bro
They will always find something to say.
Take for instance
A friend of mine was coming from fellowship in this same FUTA
He was stopped by these guys.
They searched his phone couldn't find anything
So they said what was he using fiverr to do on his phone that he his a yahoo boy.
That he should pay minimum of 5k
He said if not for the people that were there that day.
So many others
Just open a thread and ask people to talk abt their encounter with these people
Bro
U will cry for Nigeria

MIB....... Stupid set of people.
