This was revealed by NANS President, Usman Barambu, in a statement on Thursday, were he noted that the protest after commencement would be indefinite until Mohammed regained freedom.
Recall that the association had earlier apologized to the First Lady while also calling for the student’s release, but Aminu is still yet to regain freedom.
However, NANS said it had exhausted options of consultation and consolidation, and would thereby be confronting.
“Sequel to the exhaustion of all options available to us before confrontation in seeking the freedom of one of us who was arrested in questionable manner, tortured, molested, harassed and detained by agents of government, you are hereby notified of the decision of the leadership of NANS to proceed on a nationwide protest.
“We have consulted and consolidated which yielded no desirable results in seeking the freedom of Mohammed, hence, the protest shall commence as follows: Monday, December 5, 2022 nationwide.
“Please note that our demonstration shall continue until he is released unconditionally,” the statement said.
