The student body said it had exhausted all avenues for dialogue and peaceful engagement, accusing the judiciary of frustrating efforts to secure the release of detained student leaders through what it described as "judicial bullying and harassment."
The South-East Zone of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has announced plans to temporarily relocate its regional operations to Awka, the Anambra State capital, while threatening an indefinite mass protest that could cripple activities in the city over the continued detention of some of its members.
The student body said it had exhausted all avenues for dialogue and peaceful engagement, accusing the judiciary of frustrating efforts to secure the release of detained student leaders through what it described as "judicial bullying and harassment."
The development was contained in a directive signed by the NANS South-East Zonal Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Ikechukwu, following what the association described as a national directive from the NANS Senate President, Distinguished Senator Ibeabuchi Moses Onyia (IBB).
According to the statement issued on Sunday, NANS declared that "the window for diplomacy has officially closed," insisting that it would commence "Operation Total Relocation" as part of efforts to pressure authorities into releasing the detained students.
