Lagos, Nigeria – The secretariat of the National Association of Idoma Students(NAIS)has said that its President Comr. Agada Joseph Anyebe was neither a cultist, nor was he expelled from Nasarawa State University.
In a statement, National Secretary General (NAIS) Comr. Oche Benard Ekwote said the story making the rounds that Agada Joseph was expelled from the institution last year for Killing a fellow students and other cult related activities was nothing but complete falsehood.
“We wish to state categorically that as at the time Comr. Agada contested and won election as president of NAIS in February 2016, he was a bona-fide student of theatre and cultural studies department, Nasarawa state University, Keffi and he only graduated sometime in September 2016 from the school.
“He was not expelled, neither a cultist nor indicted of any cult related activity through out his period of schooling as alleged by this mischief makers.
“It may also interest them to know that Agada is also a well celebrated students leader in the school as he is the number 2 man in the hierarchy of students union in the entire Nasarawa State”, he said.
He explained that Agada’s envious position as Director General, Action & Mobilization, NANS JCC ( Joint Campus Committee) Nasarawa State Axis stands him out amongst other “comrades” in the students union struggle in the state which earned him many awards and commendations.
He said it is unfortunate that Idoko Amedu who was expelled from Government Secondary school, Otukpo for his active and notorious presence in cultism in those days he was called “Mr Brown” is now pointing accusing finger at Comr. Agada Joseph Anyebe.
“It is a known fact that Amedu Idoko is a celebrated and dangerous sinister in the street of Otukpo. He didn’t leave his cultism escapades in his high school, in the whole of Northern Nigeria particularly A.B.U Zaria where he claims to be a student, he is known for his sinister activities and he is presently under the wanted list of cult members by the school security, hence his hiding/relocation to otukpo only to sneak into A.B.U in time of exams.
‘’To set the records straight, he is a chain smoker which amongst other reasons made him disfavoured before the NAIS electorates leading to the emergence of Comr Agada Joseph in the February 2016 NAIS election. Mr Brown as he is called is a willing tool in the hands of many politician who feel that Youths that indulge in marijuana intake and cultism are the best instruments to use in perpetuating their sinister agenda”, he alleged.
He explained that the election was postponed from December to February because of the security challenge posed by Idoko Amedu and his armed group who threatened to spill blood on the election venue if the then president Comr. Igoche Egwa did not compromise the election in his favour.
According to him, Amedu is just like the proverbial “pig swimming in the mud water and ready to splash that dirty water on anybody who dare advise or ask him to come out.
Turning to Abel Ankeli, he said that since he dreams of the position of PRO, he would have been allowed to contest for that position in the forth coming NAIS election but for his limitation. He alleged that Ankeli is gay.
