He died the next day.

Yusuff Abdulrasaq, the NANS Lagos State Secretary, said the rising state of insecurity in their area is becoming unbearable and the students would demand justice for Mr Oshin-Adisa.

“The same road (Lagos-Badagry expressway) harbours two tertiary institutions, Lagos State University and Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, if the students’ spokesman can be attacked and eventually lost his life, definitely many of the students and commuters are not safe,” Mr Abdulrasaq said in a statement.

“We call on all security agencies to investigate this matter and bring all culprits to justice, the students will not hesitate to choose a date to protest against the insecurity in our vicinity. An injury to one is an injury to all.”

Phone calls and text messages to Bala Elkana, the police spokesperson in Lagos State, were not responded to.

Mr Abdulrasaq told PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday morning that the students’ association would go to the police station on Sunday “to get full report about the case which might lead to peaceful protest as the case may be.”
