NAOS Issues Ultimatum Over Alleged Killing of Student in Kogi State.(Video) VIEWERS DISCRETION!
The National Association of Olamaboro Students (NAOS) has demanded justice over the alleged killing of a nursing student by security personnel in Kogi State, issuing a 24-hour ultimatum to security agencies and authorities.
The National Association of Olamaboro Students (NAOS) has called for urgent justice over the alleged killing of one of its members, Andrew Amehson, a nursing student of the Grimard Catholic College of Nursing Sciences, Anyigba, reportedly shot by security personnel attached to Nana College of Nursing, Ibana-Okpo, in Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State.
In a strongly worded press statement issued on April 29, 2025, and signed by its President, Akwu ThankGod, the association described the incident as “barbaric, unjust, and a gross abuse of power,” alleging that the victim was an unarmed student who was killed by individuals tasked with providing security.
NAOS condemned the incident in strong terms, insisting that the act amounted to a “direct assault on the people of Olamaboro,” and demanded immediate accountability from relevant authorities.
The student body issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and the Kogi State Government, calling for the identification, arrest, and prosecution of those involved in the alleged killing.
The association also demanded a public statement outlining steps being taken to ensure justice, as well as guarantees for the safety and rights of students at the institution.
NAOS further urged the Executive Chairman of Olamaboro Local Government Area to intervene urgently, warning that his response to the matter would be closely monitored by constituents.
The group claimed that video evidence of the incident was available and had already circulated publicly, describing it as proof of what it termed a “brutal and unjust killing.”
It warned that failure to meet its demands within the stipulated timeframe could result in a total shutdown of Nana College of Nursing and the blocking of major roads within Olamaboro Local Government Area.
While reiterating its commitment to lawful conduct, NAOS said it would not remain passive in the face of what it described as injustice against its members. The association called on civil society organisations, human rights advocates, and the media to intervene and ensure accountability.
“The clock is ticking. Justice must be served,” the statement read in part.
Security agencies and state authorities are yet to issue an official response to the allegations as of the time of filing this report.
