Published

on

The Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU) early Monday morning extended the
ongoing strike by 12 weeks. The decision was taken at an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) held at ASUU
Secretariat in Abuja.

The emergency meeting, which had in
attendance principal officers and branch
chairmen, started on Sunday and ended early Monday morning.

The two month rollover strike declaredin
March 14, 2022 by ASUU ended today (May
9th), thus NEC felt the need to extend it by 12 weeks after initial agitation for indefinite strike because of failure to address the issues in contention.

The implication of the extension of the strike is that public universities would remain close At the last meeting with government negotiation team led by Prof. Nimi Briggs, ASUU officials worked out but there is indication that the both parties would meet next week.

ASUU’s demands include the non implementation of the Memorandum of Action (MoA) signed with government in December 2020 on funding for revitalisation of public universities (both federal and states), renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ ASUU Agreement and the deployment of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS).



Other outstanding issues are earned academic allowances; state universities, promotion arrears, withheld salaries, non-remittance of third-party deductions and rejection of UTAS that ASUU technical team developed to replace
the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS).

Ijaw Boy

In 2014, the Kogi State Police Command arrested Ijaw boy after he killed Farouq and fled to Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

When the police arrested him, Ijaw boy opened up on how he had worked for politicians in the state and how politicians were angered by his decision to stop assassinating people on their behalf.

“What happened is that I am a political thug – Ahmed Ogembe brought me into this ‘game’.

“I work for them in PDP but when I decided to quit, I did amnesty, former acting commissioner of police called me that I should (accept) amnesty. The gun that we used for fighting, that I should call my people and my opponents to do the amnesty, if not he would declare me wanted, of which I did (accepted the offer of amnesty). So, we did amnesty, the first phase, and the second phase, then we quit the system and we are not doing it again,” he explained.

But that did not bring him peace.

“I became an enemy to them (politicians). So, they sent Farouq Lawan to kill me. He came to my house and I escaped. He killed my brother.

“He traced me to my sister’s place; I escaped and he killed my sister and the case is with the police,” he narrated.

Ijaw boy continued: “Mohammed Ogembe, the Okene local government chairman, who I worked for before I sustained this injury – he wanted those boys to kill me because I was not from their clan. They took my pregnant wife to soldiers’ barracks. She spent four days with them. I was so scared and could not stay at my house again.”

Afterward, he sought vengeance on Farouq.

“I killed him (Farouq) to free myself. I cannot report because the security (agency) was (all) over the place looking for me. I had to live in the bush.

“I shot him in Lafia. He did not die. I took him with my friend, Moses, and Sodiq. Sodiq cut the head because he did not die. I did it for vengeance,” he admitted.

Seidu Madawaki, the then-Kogi State Commissioner of Police, had said Ijaw Boy was one of the prime suspects in the state and would be charged to court as three of his gang members had been arrested and were facing prosecution.

Madawaki had said, “His (Farouq) corpse was dumped in a cassava farm without (the) head. We arrested six suspects and that led to the recovery of the corpse. He escaped to Port Harcourt but was arrested and (we) transferred him to Lokoja.

“He was arrested and investigated. His colleagues have been remanded in prison custody. We have four people, already – three have been charged to court. So, this is one of the principal suspects who took away the head after killing their victim. He led us to where he buried the head.”

2019 Elections

In 2019 electioneering, Ijaw Boy was vividly seen vigorously moving with the campaign team of President Buhari and Governor Bello.

He was at several political rallies and campaign grounds of the APC.
