Addressing reporters on Wednesday, Nasamu dismissed accusations of a cover-up by student organizations, describing them as baseless and without merit. She expressed condolences to the families affected and assured the public of NYSC’s commitment to upholding justice.

“After thorough investigations by security agencies including the Department of State Services and the Nigeria Police Force in Ogun State, NYSC has been exonerated of any wrongdoing,” Nasamu stated. She clarified that NYSC official Ojo Aina, who was implicated in the incident, had only responded to the scene after the accident occurred.

Nasamu further disclosed that the management of Gateway Polytechnic, including the Rector and Student Union President, had apologized for the misunderstanding. She emphasized the polytechnic’s dissociation from the protest staged at the Ogun State Police Headquarters.

“We have received formal apologies and assurances of corrective measures from Gateway Polytechnic’s leadership,” Nasamu affirmed. “The truth has prevailed, and we appreciate the cooperation of all parties involved in resolving this unfortunate incident.”
