The President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) for Benin Republic, Ugochukwu Favour, triggered controversy on Thursday by demanding the arrest of journalist Umar Audu, who recently exposed corruption in that country’s certificate issuance process.
During an interview on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily program, Favour criticized Audu’s investigative technique, questioning how he managed to have his passport stamped and obtain certificates without being physically present.
“Your passport was stamped while you were not available there,” Favour asserted. “This guy served in 2019, and he still served again in 2023. How is that possible?”
