Usman Barambu, in a statement made available to pressmen on Thursday, December 1 said the nationwide strike will be indefinite until Aminu regains freedom from detention.
The association issued a public apology via a statement on Wednesday, November 30, and also appealed for his release but their request and plea seem to have been ignored.
Barambu, said:
“Sequel to the exhaustion of all options available to us before confrontation in seeking the freedom of one of us who was arrested in questionable manner, tortured, molested, harassed, and detained by agents of government, you are hereby notified of the decision of the leadership of NANS to proceed on a nationwide protest.
“We have consulted and consolidated which yielded no desirable results in seeking the freedom of Mohammed, hence, the protest shall commence as follows: Monday, December 5, 2022, nationwide.
“Please note that our demonstration shall continue until he is released unconditionally.”
Aisha Buhari abused power - NANS southwest zone

“We are prepared to mobilise the entire student community in the South-West region for a massive protest if Mohammed is not released in the next 24 hours. This is uncivilised and not good for the growing democracy of Nigeria,” the statement reads.
