By VICTOR AHIUMA-YOUNG Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has condemned alleged assault on one of its members, the Deputy Registrar of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Bauchi, Comrade Iheme and his wife by some soldiers in Bauchi State. In a statement by the, Deputy President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and National President of SSANU, Comrade Promise Adewusi, the union said it was unjust for the soldiers to have carried out such act on innocent civilian, adding that the perpetrators should be brought to book or justice publicly, Besides, the SSANU president said they should be made to imbibe the tenets of civility and warned that if nothing is done, the union will be forced to publicly protest the injustice. Comrade Adewusi said that if such unchecked brutality and injustice that is festering the embers of the prevailing insecurity in the country were left to continue, it would further pose a serious threat to peace.
