It could be recalled that in January 2021, there was a pandemonium on social media after a student of Akwa Ibom State University, AKSU attempted to take his life because he was served a letter from the school Senate to be suspended indefinitely. This came after he was accused of malicious statements against the executive governor of the state, Mr Gabriel Udom Emmanuel.
It was reported that Ekpo, Iniobong Isang popularly known as Afrosix Níní Jaara had allegedly called out on the governor to fulfill the promises he made during the 2019 Convocation ceremony in the school. He poetically said that Udom Emmanuel was using “Wizkid tongue” when he made the promises. He didn’t know this statement would land him in trouble.
However, he has been sending serious messages on social media (His official Facebook page) concerning what is happening to him. He said that he had suffered depression, attacks and was recently barred from entering the school. He is a final year student of agricultural engineering.
According to him, he quoted that “Last year September, I was blackmailed by the Student Disciplinary Committee of Akwa Ibom State University, they’ve caused me so much pain before, during and after my exams and at some point I felt suicidal.”
As a matter of fact, he pointed out that the school never gave him any letter to effect the indefinite suspension alleged to have been sent to him. From what was gathered in his post, he said that “the only letter I have is INDEFINITE SUSPENSION PENDING WHEN I’LL APPEAR BEFORE them, which I finally honored, and I was kicked out. I haven’t been given any INDEFINITE SUSPENSION LETTER FOR A CASE OF GROSS MISCONDUCT, and I’ll love to know my misconduct,” Ekpo said.
He further lamented that the school disciplinary committee have caused him pain. Adding that he cannot endure this pains for a long time and that he will continue to stand on the fact which is, “if they want me to defend myself, then they should show proof of the first letter they claimed I refused to honour,” he affirmed.
Ekpo also said that the committee should show evidence of the letters they claimed was sent to him. He said there is a limit to what his body can take at this point in time. Noting that he was going to resist any attempt by the school security to stop him from writing his test on Monday morning.
