The administration of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has expressed concern about encroachment on university property by some unscrupulous residents of Oye-Ekiti, the school’s host community.
According to the school’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Abayomi Fasina, the trespassers not only partitioned university land but also disrupted work at various construction sites within the institution, stalling infrastructure development and disrupting the institution’s peace.
Abayomi, who stated this over the weekend, revealed that some unscrupulous men from the community have been attacking workers at the university’s various construction sites, disrupting the university’s peace.
“Just yesterday, some thugs from Oye came to stop the construction work going on at the site where a new hostel is being built,” he said, lamenting the heinous development. They also placed fetish objects in seven different locations where contractors are working to keep them from working. We had to call in security to get things back to normal at the sites.
“On October 17, 2022, some people claiming to be the owners of the land on which the university is built arrived with dangerous weapons to attack the surveyor mapping the land for perimeter fencing.”
“The attacks are becoming far too frequent, disrupting the university’s peace as well as Federal Government-sponsored construction work on campus,” he said.
In response to the development, Elder Ola Oniyelu, President of the Oye Progressive Union (OPU), stated that the community’s leadership has done its best to ensure peace between the hoodlums trespassing on FUOYE’s land and the management, but the efforts have proven futile after several attempts.
He advised the university’s administration to arrest any trespassers on its lands in order to prevent acts that could lead to a breakdown in law and order or disrupt ongoing construction work on campus.
