Universities' gaslighting of students over safety concerns remains a top-tier administrative tactic. Management at Ambrose Alli University in Ekpoma publicly claimed that recent protesters lack any affiliation with the school. Otunba Mike Ade Aladenika released a statement in Benin City, insisting that these demonstrators act without school registration or union membership. He argued the group holds no right to organize events under the institution's name. The administrator warned that any attempts to disrupt academic peace would face serious consequences. He urged everyone to ignore the rally entirely while promising security to prevent disturbances.
Youths flooded the streets in Esan West regardless of the disclaimer to highlight unchecked abductions. Andrew Oziegbe led the charge while demanding urgent government intervention regarding safety in the locality. The group criticized authorities for failing to stop the rising crime wave affecting the community. They cited the recent abduction involving Akhabhe Favour and a former union leader as the trigger.
Oziegbe described the official response to these security challenges as completely inadequate. The activists aimed to force state attention toward restoring confidence among residents living in fear.
