We’re part of free Nnamdi Kanu Protest – NANS refutes ‘purported’ denial

Published

on

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, on Thursday refuted reports that the organization has denied involvement in the planned protest for the release of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

Earlier reports on Thursday quoted Olushola Oladoja, said to be the President of the association, as denying the students body’s participation in the protest while speaking to newsmen at the Federal Cooperative College in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Oladoja described reports linking the association to the proposed #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest scheduled for October 20 as false, misleading and mischievous.

However, in a statement on Thursday evening, Comrade Atiku Isah, National President of NANS, who earlier announced a programme for the association’s participation in the protest, insisted that the students are part of the exercise.

Isah’s statement, titled, ‘Refutation of the purported claim of NANS not part of protest’, claimed that the government was behind the claims that the association was not part of the protest.

The statement read, “The attention of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has been drawn to an online publication aimed at misleading concerned Nigerians who are dissatisfied with the injustice by the Nigerian government and have resolved to exercise their inalienable rights to protest to demand the immediate and unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu.

“Some touts were hired to claim to be members of our prestigious organization, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), by agents of government to disassociate themselves from the planned peaceful protest.

“We urge all well meaning Nigerians to join the protest for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. An injury to one is an injury to all. All for one and one for all.”

Isah had, while announcing the protest programme on Monday, said students would converge at the various zones before proceeding to Abuja.

“South West Zone: Students are to converge in Ekiti State and depart for Abuja on Sunday, 19th October, 2025. South East Zone: All students are to meet in Enugu. South-South Zone: The convergence point is Edo State,” he stated.

A woman has shared a disturbing account of her abduction in Abuja, detailing how kidnappers allegedly exploited her personal information during captivity.

According to her, she was kidnapped while going home in a bus and kept blindfolded for two days as her captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million from her family and friends.

She further alleged that while she was still in captivity, the abductors accessed her phone and used it to download a loan application.

With her ATM card and identification documents in her possession at the time, they reportedly secured a loan of ₦148,000 without her knowledge.

The victim said she remained unaware of the transaction throughout her ordeal, as she was blindfolded and focused on pleading for her life.

She revealed that when she later found out and wrote to the loan app, they insisted she must pay off the loan.

“I was kidnapped in a bus in Abuja. They blindfolded my eyes for two days. Even after asking for ransom of 5 million from my family and friends, they took a loan. They downloaded a loan app on my phone, and I always carry my ATM card and my ID cards in my bag, so they used it to up the loan app and took a loan of 148 thousand Naira. I didn’t even know about the loan all the time I was there cause I was blindfolded and just begging for my life….” she partly said.

Man Ends His Marriage After Finding Photographs Of His Wife With Another Man While Browsing Google Maps

A husband was left shocked and reportedly had to end his marriage after discovering photos of his wife with another man while using Google Maps.

The man was using Google Maps to plan a route before setting off on a journey when he noticed an image of his wife sitting on a bench, stroking the hair of another man whose head rested in her lap.

Captured by a Google camera vehicle in Lima, the Peruvian capital, the stunned husband said the photograph grabbed his attention because the woman pictured seemed to be wearing identical clothing to pieces his wife owned.

Although the photo dated back to 2013, the furious husband challenged his wife with proof of her previous betrayal.

The pair, whose identities remain anonymous, subsequently divorced after the woman confessed to having an affair.

In a twist of fate, she was photographed with her lover on a bench near the city’s Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco (Bridge of Sighs of the Ravine).

 

The husband recently posted the photographs on Facebook where they sparked considerable reaction amongst users.

One social media commenter, San Pateste, said: “What a small world it is… It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more.”

Guillermo Sanchez added: “Out of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha).”
