Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan (UI) chapter has asked the inspector-general of police Alkali Baba to assist the Oyo State Police Command with all logistics  to unravel and arrest the killers of Professor Opeyemi Isaac Ajewole of the Department of Social and Environmental Forestry Development of the institution.

ASUU said  Ajewole was gruesomely murdered by yet-to-be-identified assailants on Monday evening,  June 5, 2023, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

ASUU’s chairman, Professor Ayo Akinwole, also tasked President Bola Tinubu to take  interest and ensure the security system unmask those behind the murder of the university don.

“The heart of every ASUU-UI member is bleeding so profusely as if pierced by swords.

“Our bones shook so tremendously as if our marrows were naked in the tundra region. We condemn in totality the gruesome murder of our comrade, Professor Opeyemi Isaac Ajewole and charge the security operatives to track down and apprehend the perpetrators of this dastardly act, with a view to unravelling the motive behind the incident as well as bringing the perpetrators to book.”

 According to Akinwole, the only tribute which the death of Professor Ajewole deserves is that his killers are brought to justice and that Nigerians’ lives should matter to the Tinubu presidency.

“Professor Ajewole’s gruesome murder again reminds us of how valueless human lives have become in our clime,” he added.

The ASUU boss maintained that, “Death lurks in all imaginable and unimaginable corners of this country and comes cheaply. The Nigerian populace is constantly assailed by terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery, assassination, hunger, unemployment, and many more insidious exterminators of our individual and collective dreams”.

Akinwole further stated that, “The situation of the Nigerian academics is even doubly precarious; they are prophets without any honour at home.

“Despite their immense contributions to national growth and development and recognition in the international circle, Nigerian academics are scorned and shabbily treated by the Nigerian state and the public for being unrepentant patriots.

“ It is, therefore, disheartening that academics who cultivate, preserve, and disseminate knowledge for the advancement and development of the society will become victims of societal malady to such an extent as to be targeted for elimination.

“The union wishes to use this teary occasion of Professor Ajewole’s sudden death to call on the Nigerian state to resolutely tackle the problem of insecurity in the country, apprehend the killers of Professor Ajewole and punish them most appropriately.”
