The conflict between members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at the Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) and Vice Chancellor Femi Mimiko appears to be deepening as six members of the union were today suspended by the university administration.

The six members, including ASUU branch chairman, Busuyi Mekusi, were suspended after the registrar of the university, R.O. Olotu, issued a query to six ASUU officials and members. The query pertained to an ongoing dispute between ASUU members and the university’s security outfit.

Earlier, the university had demanded that Mr. Mekusi and other ASUU members respond within 24 hours to various allegations regarding a reported assault on lecturers. In the query by the registrar, the ASUU branch chairman was accused of assaulting the university security men, disruption of the university’s academics, and the subsequent media publication of the alleged attack on ASUU members. The registrar said Mr. Mekusi should explain why disciplinary action should not be taken against him by the university administration.

A source told SaharaReporters that the suspended ASUU executives are due to face an investigation panel over their assertion that ASUU national officers were recently assaulted by members of the university’s security outfit during a zonal meeting on the university campus.

Two sources told SaharaReporters over the telephone that the suspended ASUU members have also been barred from entering the university premises. “The university

Daring gunmen have assassinated a former Chairman of Peremabiri Community Development Committee (CDC), Morris Jonathan, at his residence in Akenpaiarea of Yenagoa, Bayelsa.


The Commissioner of Police in Bayelsa, Hilary Opara, confirmed the incident.

He stated that that the assailants did not remove any valuable or cash from the deceased’s home during the attack.

"My DPO called me early in the morning to inform me of the murder case," he said.

Mr. Opara added that no arrest had been made by the Police authorities as investigation in the murder was ongoing.

Residents of the area were left bewildered following the murder of the 34 year old civil servant as his wife wailed uncontrollably.

Family sources said Jonathan's remains had been deposited at the morgue of the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa.

The deceased hailed from Peremabiri, an oil-bearing area located in Southern Ijaw Local Government area of the state.

An eyewitness who sought anonymity said that the gunmen, numbering about six persons, invaded Jonathan's residence at about 1am, shooting sporadically,  before they entered the victim's bedroom and shot him dead.

It was gathered that the gunmen did not remove anything from the home of the former CDC chairman after shooting him.

The President of the Bayelsa State Chapter of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Mr. Brigth Igrubia and six others have been arrested over an alleged fight over a N1.5 million largesse given by Dame Patience Jonathan to youth praise singers last week in Otuoke.

 Youths sympathetic to the arrested men claim that the money was handed to the youths during a solidarity visit they paid to Mrs. Jonathan during her private visit to Bayelsa on Tuesday.

Others claim the controversy and the embarrassing clashes among the youths, led by the members of the National Youths Council of Nigeria, the Otuoke Youth Association and others who stage separate solidarity visits to the wife of the President.

Trouble started for the arrested youth leaders when they mobilized youths for the solidarity visit to Mrs. Jonathan.

The US has threatened to sanction Nigeria following President Jonathan’s signing of the Same-Sex Prohibition Act 2014. The world power is threatening to scale down its support for HIV/AIDS and anti-malaria programmes in Nigeria. This was made known yesterday Jan. 20th by James Entwistle, the US Ambassador to Nigeria.

Mr Entwistle said he was worried about "the implications of the anti-same sex marriage law which seems to restrict the fundamental rights of a section of the Nigerian population.”

"The issue of same-sex marriage was very controversial all over the world, including within  the United States where 17 states out of 50 had endorsed it, but others still reject its legality. The issue that we see and I am speaking as a friend of Nigeria is that as I read the bill, it looks to me that it puts significant restrictions on the freedoms of assembly and expression; in my opinion which applies especially in advanced democracies, once government begins to say something in these areas, freedom no longer applies. It seems to me that this is a very worrisome precedent.”
