It is with a deep heart and sorrow over the reports that Nigerian military shot dead two students protesting in UniJos on 25 of November. The students who were involved in a relatively peaceful protest, were sent to their graves by the forces who swore to defend our dear country.

The protest which was triggered over a sudden 100 percent increase of tuition fees from 10 thousand, to 20 thousand Naira. That development made the students to protest in order to call the attention of the university management to stop the proposed increment.

A full scale investigation must be carried out to in order to find the truth and take appropriate measures. Nigerian students who are by large part of the Nigerian youths will not fold their arms and watch the future of this country to be ruined by Nigerian security agencies.

The National Association of Nigerian Students, National Youth Council, and Arewa Students Forum should give two weeks ultimatum to the Military to investigate and prosecute the errant officers that killed those students. Live bullets shouldn’t have been used in a mere demonstration of students. Even if live bullets are to be used, the military officers should have shoot in the air not on the chest of the protesting students.
May the soul of those martyrs rest in perfect peace.
