Students under the aegis of the National Association of Nigerian Students Ekiti State axis are demanding justice for one of their own, Emmanuel Omoboriowo, who was allegedly brutalized by men of the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, in Ado Ekiti.

The students while narrating the ordeal of the brutalized student noted that Omoboriowo suffered a broken leg and fractures on his neck as a result of the beating he received.

The student leaders said trouble started after Omoboriowo had an altercation with men of the NIS over a parking space following his visit to the NIS office for a visa application.

The students while demanding justice for him, said the student has been hospitalized after the incident.

In his reaction, the State Comptroller of NIS, Alphonsus Achilonu, said Omoboriowo could not establish his mission to the office of the NIS as he already had a valid international passport.

The student leaders urged the NIS to express concern over the ugly incident by paying the hospital bills of Omoboriowo.
