A law student of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University (Unizik), Awka, has di£d and her colleagues are seeking justice as they blame her hostel mistress.

Ajana Isabella, an occupant of Elmada hostel in Unizik, and her roommates reportedly lost their room key and needed a new one.

However, students alleged that when they approached their hostel mistress, identified as Madam Bright, for a spare key, she insisted that they pay for the spare as the hostel’s policy demands.

The price for the spare key was allegedly pegged at N120,000 and the three roommates had to bring N40,000 each.

The students begged that they could not afford that amount right away and Ajana – said to be diabetic – desperately needed her insulin medications.

However, their pleas were ignored and Ajana’s condition deteriorated until she collapsed and was rushed to the hospital on Sunday, July 6, and she di£d on Wednesday, July 9.

Unizik students are now seeking justice with the hashtag #Justice4Ajana.

The Nigeria Air Force, NAF, has announced that they will intensify surveillance and reconnaissance flights over the South-South region airspace.

The Air Officer Commanding, AOC, Mobility Command of NAF, Yenagoa, Air Vice Marshal Sunday Anake, disclosed this when he called on Governor Bassey Otu in his office in Calabar.

He emphasized the Air Force’s commitment to security in the state, assuring that the surveillance and reconnaissance flights will be particularly intensified over sensitive areas of the state.

This followed an appeal by the state Deputy Governor, Dr. Peter Odey, who represented Governor Otu during the courtesy visit.

Odey, who acknowledged recent joint security operations, including the clearance of criminal elements from the waterfront areas, had mentioned that the Nigerian Navy does find it difficult to access some of the creek areas due to narrow tunnels.

He appealed that the Air Force should come in with aerial support in the difficult terrain where naval access is limited.

“The Nigerian Navy is finding it difficult to access some of the creek areas due to narrow tunnels. We believe a bit of air intervention, which only you can provide, will help us fully secure these zones,” the Deputy Governor noted.

He also pledged the state government’s support in upgrading the Air Force Primary School in Calabar, describing it as a necessary investment in quality education for military and civilian children alike.

He pledged the government’s readiness to deepen their partnership in strengthening security across the state, especially around strategic infrastructure and high-risk zones, to ensure safety for citizens and investors.

The Air Force boss, Air Vice Marshal Anake, assured the state government that “Our mission is clear: any time, any weather, just give us a knock and we’ll respond with military precision. We are here not just to take from government, but to give full cooperation,” he assured.
