FUOYE Crisis: NYCN Declared State Of Emergency, Relocates HQ To Campus, Presents “Non-nlNegotiable” Demands To Presidency, Begins Protest

The situation within the Federal University Ado-Ekiti has taken a different turn after the leadership of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Ekiti State Chapter, declared a State of Emergency over what it described as a move “to end impunity and restore integrity in FUOYE.”

The NYCN in a letter dated 29th October 2025 and jointly signed by its Chairman, Amb. James Bankole and its General Secretary, Silas Olawale said “after exhausting all official channels,” including submission of “a detailed petition to the presidency, relevant ministries, and national anti-corruption and security agencies, exposing the corruption and moral decays threatening FUOYE,” it was time for a decisive action.

The NYCN Ekiti State Chapter said it will relocate its Operational Headquarters to FUOYE main campus from Monday 3rd of November, 2025, stage a daily peaceful mass protest until their “non-negotiable demands” are met.

Their demands include the suspension of the University's Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abayomi Fasina, the removal of the Governing Council Chairman, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, independent investigation of all sexual abuse cases and prosecution of offenders, suspension of the ongoing Vice-Chancellorship selection process, a forensic audit of FUOYE'S finances since 2021 and the restoration of lawful governance and protection for whistle blowers.

The NYCN called on all students, youth and civil society groups to join them to liberate FUOYE from corruption and misuse of university funds, manipulated Vice-Chancellorship appointment process, sexual harassment and moral decay.

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...

Court Cautions Police, Orders Proper Invitation of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Lagos State Magistrate Court has cautioned the Lagos State Police Command and directed that proper procedures be followed in the handling of the case involving Mr. Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran, in what is seen as a setback for individuals including Bashir Fakorede, Jide Akinloye, and Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Jimoh Moshood. Presiding over proceedings in the Ogba Magisterial District, Magistrate A. J. Odueke, in Charge No: MISC/126/2026, held that the police must formally invite Akanbi rather than declare him wanted. The Court further stated that an order for arrest would only be considered if he fails to honour such an invitation. The Court noted that it was mindful of previous proceedings in Charge No: MCIK/60A/2026, where a similar application had earlier been set aside by another Magistrate on March 23, 2026, on the grounds of illegality. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain what it described as a repetition of a defective process. ...
