The Department of State Services (DSS) has rescued the factional president of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Hon Abubakar Isa Atiku, after a machete attack.

Details of the rescue emerged after Atiku was allegedly attacked with a machete by members of another factional leader, Hon. Olusola Ladoja, after they clashed at Wells Carlton on

Tuesday in Abuja, after an attempt to inaugurate the new NANS executives.

According to a security source, trouble began when another NANS faction led by Hon. Ladoja stormed the venue of the parallel inauguration, resulting in members of both factions engaging in a fight.

Guests, including Alhaji Ibrahim Shekarau and Idris Wada, former governors of Kano and Kogi States, respectively, and students, reportedly scampered for safety, even as both camps continued the free-for-all. One Mustspha (aka Musty) allegedly sustained a cut on his right arm.

The source further revealed that Ladoja’s group overpowered Abubakar’s and ended up whisking him away.

 

 

 

However, DSS operatives reportedly trailed the group and rescued Abubakar, who by this time had sustained several machete cuts.

 

 

 

The source added that operatives also recovered a pistol and machete from the scene and are reportedly investigating the ownership of the weapons.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Abubakar is responding to treatment at a security hospital.

 

 

 

Recall that Ladoja and Abubakar claimed victory at parallel NANS national conventions held on February 27, 2025, in Abuja, and have since claimed to be the body’s national president.
