THE leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students has petitioned the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, demanding the arrest and prosecution of the factional President of NANS, Pedro Obi, over the alleged impersonation of NANS President, Lucky Emonefe.
Emonefe, on Thursday, led hundreds of students on a solidarity rally to the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, where he presented the position paper to Akume.
The petition was received on SGF’s behalf by the Deputy Security Officer, Haliru Musa.
Obi had, in an interview granted The PUNCH after the election, announced himself as the winner, saying, “I did my best in line with our constitution. The election was conducted, and at the end of the day, I won with 212 votes against my opponents, Sunday, who had 49 votes, and Lucky Emonefe, who had about 64 votes.”
There had been a crisis in the association, with each faction laying claims to the leadership of the student body.
On Tuesday, in a trending video on X, formerly Twitter, the two factions engaged in a bloody clash that left one severely injured in the Federal Capital Territory.
