The Senate of the Nigerian student’s body, which declared him missing, in an open Letter to security agencies and Nigerians, Thursday, said Faruk was last seen on Tuesday, October 4, 2022.
The letter, titled:” Open Letter to all Security Agencies and Well-meaning Nigerians on the Missing of Comrade Faruk Lawal, the President of NANS”, signed by NANS Senate President, Comrade Ismail Adediwura Adeshina, called on the Department of State Services, the Nigeria Police and all relevant security agencies to activate their search buttons, to rescue the missing student leader.
The letter by Comrade Adeshina, read in full:” I am using this medium to inform security operatives and well meaning Nigerians of the missing of Comrade Faruk Lawal, the President of the National Association of Nigerian students, since Tuesday, 4th of October, 2022.
Adediwura on Tuesday wrote on his Facebook page, “Nigeria students, please let us be calm, Faky is not free yet, but I have spoken with him, and no protest for now until when is necessary.”
Adediwura’s message came after the association had announced on Facebook that “Umar Faruk Lawal [was] arrested for impersonation.”
However, on Wednesday, Adediwura in a statement titled ‘Open Letter To All Security Agencies and Well Meaning Nigeria On The Missing Of Comrade Faruk Lawal, The President Of NANS,’ declared Faruk missing.
The letter he shared on Facebook read, “Am using this medium to inform the security operatives and well meaning Nigerians of the missing of Comrade Faruk Lawal, the President of the National Association of Nigerian Students since Tuesday 4th of October, 2022.
“Comrade Faruk Lawal was last seen around the Maraba/Nyanya axis yesterday afternoon. Different information is flying around in the student community that he was kidnapped while some says he was picked up by the security operative in connection to the crisis within the Student Association. This has generated a lot of tension within the student leadership rank.
“Therefore, in the interest of peace and security, I call on the Department of Security Services, Nigeria Police Force and all Security apparatus, students community, and well meaning Nigerians to come to our aid in finding our highly revered Comrade and Leader to douse the already heated tension. We believe in your capacity and commitment to ensure that Nigeria is safe for all and Sundry.”
The immediate past President of the NANS, Sunday Asefon, recently identified his duly elected successor as Usman Barambu.
