The Osogbo National Students' Union (ONSU) has demanded the probe of two policemen over their shooting of two students of Osun State University, Osogbo at the weekend.

ONSU which is the indigenous association for all Osogbo students lamented that the incident threatened the peace of Osogbo and insisted that the matter must be investigated and that the errant policemen must be brought to book.

In a statement jointly signed by the President and Public Relations Officer of ONSU, Adeyemi Idris and Obarayese Sikiru, the body expressed worry that the policemen that were supposed to protect the citizens were the ones endangering their lives.

According to the statement, “It is our belief that the police who claim to be friends of the people should always act their words. It is not enough for them to act on information without thorough investigations.”

“We acknowledge the effort of the state government of Osun and police top hierarchy in the state at dousing the tension which almost degenerated into chaos. Osogbo people are known for peace and security agent should assist in maintaining the peace.

“We appeal for calm on the part of the students of the university and we want to implore the police authorities to investigate the incident dispassionately to ensure that the culprits are brought to justice.”
