Members
of staff and students of the Osun State University, Ipetu Ijesa, were
reportedly harassed and battered by Air-force personnel on Tuesday. 
According to multiple reports, the Airforce men, who have allegedly been terrorizing students of the University for a long time, arrived the
campus Tuesday and beat up people on sight.

The
Dean of Students Affairs, Dr. Adebimpe Adigun, confirmed the incident
and revealed that some students were hospitalized after the attack. “Six
of the students are currently admitted to a hospital; five were treated
for injuries. Two members of staff were also wounded by the military
men.” she said.

The
Air Force have now commenced investigation, insisting that they do
not condone or encourage the violation of anyone’s human rights. “The
attention of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has been drawn to reports of
some of its personnel being involved in a fracas on the campus of the
Osun State University (UNIOSUN) at Ipetu Ijesha. While the NAF highly
regrets the entire incidence, it is noteworthy that the reported
incidence is not a reflection of what the NAF stands for. The NAF is a
highly professional force that does not condone or encourage the
violation of anyone’s human rights.
The general public
is invited to kindly note that the NAF has already commenced formal
investigations into the reported unfortunate incidence. At the end of
the investigations, Nigerians are assured that any NAF personnel found
culpable will be dealt with in accordance with the appropriate laws.”
