NDC Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi has called on the military high command to conduct a thorough, transparent, and impartial investigation into the Disturbing Reports from Osun State University.
Obi in message on his Facebook page noted with deep concern the troubling reports of soldiers invading students’ hostels at Osun State University, Osogbo, during which students were allegedly assaulted, humiliated, dispossessed of their personal belongings, and female students subjected to degrading treatment, including rape.
The former Anambra Governor made it clear that every Nigerian deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
“Our Armed Forces are renowned for their courage, discipline, and sacrifice in defending our nation. They are not known for such barbarity against the very citizens they are sworn to protect.
I therefore urge the military high command to conduct a thorough, transparent, and impartial investigation into these allegations.
“Anyone found culpable should be brought to justice. Holding offending personnel accountable will not only ensure justice for the victims but also preserve the honour and integrity of our Armed Forces while serving as a deterrent against future abuses.
While pointing out that a nation that respects human dignity builds confidence in its institutions, he emphasized that Nigeria must never tolerate impunity or the abuse of power.
