Alleged misconduct: Bauchi students’ President, Juraid, suspended

The National Union of Bauchi State Students (NUBASS), an umbrella body of all the state students studying in various institutions in Nigeria and out of the country, has suspended its National President, Comrade Mahmud Juraid, over allegation of misconduct.

In the letter of suspension issued by the Chairman, Judicial Council of NUBASS, Abbas Ibrahim, and Secretary, Kamalu Isa Ahmad, the union accused Juraid of misappropriation of the union’s funds and corrupt practices.

They also accused him of working unilaterally and carrying out financial transactions without the consent of the other executive members.

NUBASS further directed Juraid to stop parading himself as the president of the union and hand over all documents and property belonging to the union in his possession to the vice president.

“The president is hereby suspended indefinitely and shall within 48 hours hand over all documents pertaining to his office to the vice president who is by law required to assume office of the present pending the final investigation into the case,” the letter read in part.

In his response, Juraid alleged that the letter came from his political opponents, adding that he heard about it but he was not officially served.

He also alleged that his rivals connived with some members of the judicial council to ‘unlawfully’ issue the letter vowing that he remains the bonafide president of the union.
