Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife.

 Reverse telecom tariff or face protest, students warn FG


The South-West zone of the National Association of University Students has called on the Federal Government to reverse the hike in telecommunication tariffs.


The university student body said the country would witness the mobilisation of learners against the hike if the government and other stakeholders failed to address the issue.


Other imperative issues that NAUS asked the government to address included rising insecurity on campuses, epileptic power supply, and incessant strikes, among others.


The students made these demands known in a press conference held on Thursday in Lagos.


According to the statement signed by the NAUS National Vice President (South-West), Tiamiyu Olayinka, the reversal of increased telecommunication tariffs was crucial as students depend on affordable internet access to learn in this digital age.


“Students across campuses depend on affordable internet access to attend virtual lectures, conduct research, submit assignments, and participate in online discussions.


“By increasing telecom tariffs, these critical academic engagements are being disrupted. We call on relevant authorities to act swiftly and responsibly to address pressing concerns.


“Failure to meet up with our demands will leave us with no choice than to moblise students across South-West and take a bold step to defend our rights and secure a better academic environment for all,” it added.
