OSOGBO—THE management of Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-ife, has accused some individuals of the host community of “criminally poisoning”’ the institution’s dam which provides water to the OAU community of over 30,000 students and staff.
The university authorities have petitioned the Commissioner of Police, Osun State Command, a copy of which was obtained by our correspondent in Osogbo through the university Public Relations Officer, PRO, Biodun Olanrewaju.
The petition alleged that the campus is endangered by the activity of those it described as land-grabbers who the petition alleged “forcefully gained access to the dam by overpowering the security official on duty, Mr. O.A Omotosho.
The petition, which named one of the attackers as Idowu Ogunwusi (alias Dagunduro), claimed the group freely used dangerous weapons including guns, cutlasses and axes during the attack.
