NANS JCC PLATEAU STATE AXIS DEMANDS JUSTICE FOR SAMUEL FWANGIL, CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION INTO THE KILLING OF A 300-LEVEL STUDENT OF PLATEAU STATE COLLEGE OF HEALTH TECHNOLOGY, ZAWAN
The Office of the Secretary General, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Joint Campus Council (JCC), Plateau State Axis, is deeply saddened and outraged by the tragic killing of Samuel Fwangil, a 300-level student of the Plateau State College of Health Technology, Zawan, in the Department of Dental Surgery Technician.
According to reports, Samuel Fwangil was allegedly killed by unknown gunmen while he was on his farm in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
This tragic incident is not only a painful loss to his family, friends, colleagues and the entire student community, but also another disturbing reminder of the growing insecurity threatening the lives and future of Nigerian students and citizens.
The NANS JCC Plateau State Axis strongly condemns this barbaric act and calls for an immediate, thorough and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the killing of our student. We demand that the perpetrators of this heinous crime be identified, arrested and brought to justice.
We, Nigerian students, cannot continue to remain silent while our students are killed on a daily basis. Every student has the fundamental right to live, study and pursue his or her dreams in a safe and secure environment.
Therefore, we call on the following authorities and stakeholders to urgently intervene and ensure that justice is served:
- The Plateau State Government;
- The Inspector-General of Police;
- The Member of the House of Representatives representing Mangu/Bokkos Federal Constituency;
- The Honourable Member representing Mangu South Constituency in the Plateau State House of Assembly;
- The Chairman, Mangu Local Government Area;
- The Chairman, Plateau State Youth Council (PYC);
- The Chairman, Mangu Local Government Youth Council;
- Security agencies;
- Traditional, community and other relevant stakeholders.
We appeal to all relevant authorities to deploy every necessary resource to investigate this unfortunate incident, uncover the identity of those responsible and ensure that the perpetrators face the full weight of the law.
The life of every student matters. The killing of one student is an attack on the entire student community.
We demand JUSTICE FOR SAMUEL FWANGIL.
Justice for Sammy!
An injury to one is an injury to all!
Aluta Continua!
Victoria Ascerta!
