The message, sent from a contact identified as “MOMENTUM,” was received at about 8:27 a.m. on Thursday, October 8, and called on students to support Nsirim under the Momentum agenda. “Fatsssaites, Make your voice count and help shape the next social season we deserve.

The Psychology student released a video whose content has generated concerns among students. In the video, an individual is physically dragged by the feet, has their mouth and face covered, their hands tied and is subsequently taken away. Given the context in which the video was released, the imagery could reasonably be interpreted as suggesting that students who refuse to support the candidate may face similar conseque...
