The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said that it is waiting for the time when the killers of one of its members would be arrested, paraded and prosecuted.

The union made this declaration on Monday.

Recall that Professor Opeyemi Ajewole, a member of ASUU at the University of Ibadan, was on June 5, 2023, killed by yet-to- be identified individuals in Ibadan.

The union has, however, tasked the new Acting Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to deploy his tactical team to assist the Oyo state command in unmasking the killers of the late professor.

The union noted that it is waiting for the time when the killers of the deceased would be arrested, paraded and prosecuted.

The union added that it is not happy that the killers of their lecturer and their motives are yet to be unearthed by the police.

ASUU chairman at the University of Ibadan, Professor Ayo Akinwole, made these disclosures.

Akinwole, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues on Monday, enjoined Egbetokun to take a passionate interest in the case.

Akinwole also urged Egbetokun to deploy the necessary human and technical expertise to unravel the mystery surrounding the killing.

He urged the police to rise up and bring the perpetrators to book.

He added that it is unfortunate that no one has been arrested or prosecuted as a result of the killing.

Akinwole said, “The Union awaits the arrest, parade and prosecution of the killers of Professor Opeyemi Ajewole. His family needs to experience that justice is served on those behind his gruesome killing. And by so doing, the entire people of Nigeria will have more trust in our policing system.

“As we bury Professor Ajewole this week without the arrest of his killers, we are reminded of how insecure Nigerians are.

“The police and the intelligence community need to rise up and bring the perpetrators to book. The killings of hapless Nigerians must stop. The lives of Nigerians must matter and must be accounted for by those saddled with those responsibilities.”
