Ekeyokpa Sunday, Students Union President of Tai Solarin University of Education, TASUED, has threatened to drag Vanguard Newspaper to court concerning a report that potrayed him has being mentally ill.
In a statement to daily post on Sunday he said "My attention has been drawn to the slanderous report issued by Vanguard newspaper on June 16, 2014 in lieu to the students protest at our campus on June 10, 2014"
He also said"It is saddening that the interest, future and lives of the entire TASUEDITES can be used as a tool in playing politics. This is evident in the report by one Daud Olatunji of Vanguard Newspaper in Ogun State, wherein he wrote that I am mentally sick aftermath of the injury I sustained during the protest.”
“I wish to inform the world that I, EKEYOKPA SUNDAY (OSAS) is mentally fit and sound. The Ogun State Hospitals Management Board has also carried out series of tests on me after which I was issued CERTIFICATE OF FITNESS.
“I believe the Press should serve as the voice for the voiceless and not a section of the society that is out to satisfy the dictate of person/s, who find joy in causing chaos among the students populace.”
“TASUEDITES as a whole frowns at the unscrupulous attitude of Mr. Daud Olatunji; we are convinced he is being sponsored against our just course. He is a biased reporter because professional journalists seek the facts before writing. In this case, Mr. Olatunji did not speak to me or close associates before he released the gibberish.”
