The provost of the Federal College of Agriculture, Akure, Ondo State, Dr. Akinyemi Fadiyimu, has cried out over alleged incessant attacks and harassment of students and staff of the institution by land grabbers.
The FECA boss, who stated this in a statement, on Wednesday said there were five different litigation filed against the college by some individuals who were claiming to be the owners of the institution’s land.
He stated, “Our greatest threat here is the issue of land grabbing. Land grabbers want to forcefully encroach on our land. We are facing five litigations from people who are trying to lay claim to this college. On several fronts, different persons are laying claim to our land. The issues are so serious.
“If per chance we lose those cases, the land available for this college will be reduced by three quarter. Only one quarter will be left for us to operate.
“They (land grabbers) come in all the time to attack our staffs and students. It is a lot of security risk for staff and students. The location of the college is attractive to land speculators. They should leave us alone to develop and be able to serve the society,” he lamented.
