The Public Relations Officer of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Southwest Zone D, Comrade Kuku Isaiah Eromidayo, has called for justice after a violent attack at his home in Igando, Lagos State, left him injured and his pregnant wife traumatized.

Eromidayo, in a statement released on Tuesday and obtained by SaharaReporters, alleged that a group of armed men, led by a known ex-convict, invaded his home on Saturday, October 4, 2025, around 2:00 p.m., in what he described as an “unprovoked and life-threatening attack.”

“On Saturday, 4th October 2025, at about 2:00 p.m., some miscreants violently invaded my residence located at No. 47, Jamaica Street, Agric Road, Igando, Lagos State,” Eromidayo stated.

“During the unprovoked attack, I was physically assaulted and injured with a cutlass, while my pregnant wife was also terrified and traumatized by the incident.”
He alleged that the principal assailant was one Adeola Asela, whom he identified as “an ex-convict with a known criminal record”.

“The principal aggressor in this attack was one Adeola Asela, an ex-convict with a known criminal record who was previously involved in a robbery case at Iba in 2021, where I resided before relocating to my current address,” the student leader said.

“Adeola is being harbored and aided by one Mr. Taiye, popularly known as ‘Stubborn’, who is notorious in our community for harboring criminal elements and drug traffickers in his father’s house on the same street.”

According to the NANS spokesman, the attack did not end there. Later that same night, the alleged assailants returned, accompanied by armed hoodlums, and vandalized his property.

“Later that same night, the same Adeola, in company with armed hoodlums, including one Lekan in our street, and Mr. Taiye (Stubborn) returned to my house and vandalized my property, further endangering my family’s safety,” Eromidayo said.

“This malicious act has left us in a state of fear and insecurity, as we continue to receive threats and harassment from these individuals and their associates.”

In one of the photos obtained by SaharaReporters, Eromidayo identified Asela as the individual wielding a cutlass.

The student leader appealed to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, the AIG Zone 2, Onikan, and the Department of State Services (DSS) to intervene urgently and ensure that justice is served.

“In view of the above, I earnestly appeal for your urgent intervention and a thorough investigation into this matter,” he pleaded.

“I trust that your esteemed office will take appropriate measures to ensure that justice prevails, the perpetrators are brought to book, and the safety of my family is guaranteed.”

The letter was officially copied to the Lagos State Police Command, AIG Zone 2, and the DSS.
