The Students’ Union of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUASU). has called on the state government and the Commissioner of Police to come to their aid in curbing incessant robberies around the school environment.

The union also decried the state of Akungba police patrol vehicles, which they said slow down police response to criminal activities.

 Chief Press Secretary to the AAUA Students Union President, Hassan Victor Oki, disclosed this in a letter signed and made available to  newsmen.

The students bemoaned the rampant loss of students’ properties due to the slow response of the Akungba Police to reported criminal activities as a result of poor conditions of the vehicles.

They, therefore, called on the state government and the police boss, to come to the students’ rescue by either repairing or replacing the Akungba Police Division vehicles in order to fast-track prompt responses to security matters in Akungba-Akoko and its environs.

“It is witha profound sense of concern, attention and urgency that I write this open letter to communicate the constant and unnecessary loss of students’ properties occasioned by the delay to urgent security happenstances in and around the Akungba community due to the poor and rickety conditions of the vehicle used by Nigeria Police Force in Akungba-Akoko.

“It is no gainsaying that despite the concerted and dedicated efforts of members of the NPF in Akungba-Akoko, as we have noted with deep regrets, that they are incapacitated and largely limited to respond efficiently, timely and exigently to series of distress calls, which have greatly affected the student populace in the community,” it stated.
