At a well attended press conference in Abuja onFriday , the duo Comrade Danesi Momoh Prince and Comrade Igwe Ude-umanta; Convener and Co-Convener respectively, urged politicians and the mainstream media to verify their reports before publishing and desist from heating up the polity with sensational headlines.
The text read in part, “few days ago, there was a disturbing trending video and subsequent media reports of violence during the Students’ Union Government (SUG) election in the Federal Polytechnic Auchi, Edo State. Some of the reports claimed that two students were killed and several others injured. We make bold to say that this is outright falsehood sponsored to discredit the institution and the country at large by people too desperate to verify from the school management or security agencies.
