Our attention has been drawn to the publication by _Nasarawa Mirror, an Online Platform_ titled “Unemployed Graduate Apprehended For Alleged Motorcycle Theft At FULafia”, which identified the suspect as an alumnus of Nasarawa State University, Keffi, NSUK.

The Nasarawa State University, Keffi Alumni Association under the able and pragmatic leadership of Barr. Nuhu J Egya,  Notary Public, finds it necessary to set the record straight and place on record our unequivocal position:

The alleged criminal act attributed to Mr. Habibu Oshafu is personal, condemnable, and does not represent the values, training, or character of the Nasarawa State University, Keffi Alumni body. NSUK has produced thousands of graduates across Accounting, Law, Sciences, and Humanities who are serving Nigeria and thee world with integrity, diligence, and distinction. To use the action of one individual to cast aspersions on an entire institution is reckless, misleading, and grossly unfair.

Nasarawa State University, Keffi is renowned for academic excellence, discipline, and sound moral rectitude. Our motto, our curriculum, and our alumni conduct across public service, private sector, and international institutions attest to this. Any act that contravenes the law is an aberration and will be disowned by the Association. We do not condone crime, and we do not shield offenders.

While we respect the duty of the media to report crime, we urge _Nasarawa Mirror_ and other platforms to exercise restraint, context, and balance. Sensational headlines that lead with “NSUK graduate” instead of “suspect apprehended” create a false impression that the university endorses criminality. We demand a retraction and a balanced follow-up that reflects the fact that NSUK neither trained nor sanctioned such conduct.

Nasarawa State University, Keffi Alumni are men and women of honour. Our name, our certificate, and our reputation were earned through hard work and discipline. We will not allow the misconduct of one person to drag the integrity of over 50,000 alumni through the mud.

We are NSUK. We are built on integrity. We are known for sound moral rectitude.
