    A student of the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, who was expelled for writing an open letter to the school’s management over issues of transportation and insecurity on campus, Ifemosu Michael Adewale, has raised the alarm over plans to kill him.

    In a petition written to President Muhammadu Buhari, Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, and heads of law enforcement agencies in the country, Adewale alleged that Vice Chancellor of FUNAAB, Prof Felix Salako, was currently doing everything possible to kill him.

    According to the young man, he had been receiving death threats from different persons, who have told him that he would suffer for speaking against Salako.

    Adewale said that he was crying out so that the world would know where his death came from in case he was killed.

    He said, “At exactly 1:00am on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, some hired assassins came to my apartment around Apakila Camp with cutlasses and guns. They tore the net of my room and afterwards moved to the last room in my compound, tore the net and started searching for me.

    “When they could not find me, they left but not without warning that they were going to deal with me for fighting the VC.

    “Earlier, I had received a lot of calls from private numbers telling me that they would kill me for challenging my unlawful and illegal expulsion from the university and ridiculing the Vice Chancellor.

    “Prof Salako is close to those in power, whereas I am an ordinary citizen.

    “I am crying out publicly so that at least the world will know where my death came from and I will not join the long list of unresolved murders. My killer should at least be known.”

    But when contacted by SaharaReporters, spokesperson for FUNAAB, Dr Lydia Onwuka, denied the allegations, insisting that the VC, Prof Salako, has no reason to go after the life of Adewale or any other person in fact.

    She said, “There is a matter in court but let me just say that the VC has no reason to kill Ifemosu Adewale or any other person.

    “The allegation is not founded on any proof or fact, so it is not true.”

    Movement control order, time to take care of mental health: Lee Lam Thye 4

    KUALA LUMPUR: The two-week movement control order period is a time for everyone to take care of their mental health amid the Covid-19 outbreak.

    Befrienders KL patron Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye in a statement today said the disease which had been declared as pandemic could spark fear and cause anxiety as well as intense pressure among people from all walks of life.

    “Among the things that you can do to overcome fear is to limit your screen time…you can also do many other beneficial activities such as drawing, meditation, writing journals and praying.

    “Share positive and encouraging messages on social media such as stories of those who have recovered from Covid-19 or dedicated health care workers who work tirelessly and selflessly around the clock,” he said.

    Lee also advised those who live alone to stay in touch with their loved ones through phone and video calls.

    Those who struggle with stress or just need someone to talk to can contact Befrienders KL at 03-7956 8145 for emotional support, he added.

    Lee also advised the public to obtain verified information about Covid-19 from trusted sources such as the Health Ministry and the World Health Organisation.

    Meanwhile, he called on the government to provide psychosocial support especially to health workers in the frontline combating Covid-19. — Bernama
