UDUS Student Union Condemns Management's Silence on EFCC's Alleged Unlawful Raid
The union is now calling on the university management to address the situation, secure the release of the remaining 10 students still in EFCC custody, and provide a clear explanation for the arrests.
The Students' Union Caretaker Committee of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto (UDUS), led by Abdullahi Sanusi, has criticized the university management for remaining silent after the recent raid by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which led to the arrest of over 40 students from private hostels on September 28, 2024.
The EFCC's late-night operation, which allegedly included the arrest of a campus journalist, has drawn sharp criticism from the student union. In a press release, the union denounced the raid as "unprofessional and unlawful," stating that the students were arrested without justifiable cause.
