The management of the Federal College of Forestry in Ibadan has taken the decision to close the institution indefinitely. This decision comes in the aftermath of a confrontation between college staff and students and officials from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
On Tuesday, EFCC operatives arrived at the college for a routine verification of a surety’s address and identity, but the situation escalated into a violent clash with staff and students. The EFCC had duly informed the college community about their mission. As a result of this incident, the college has been temporarily shut down.
The Public Relations Officer of the college, Mr Kehinde Olawale, said that the college had been closed as a result of the incident
He said: “The school has been closed to douse tension. We have gone to Eleyele Police Station to complain. We have sent a circular to the students.
“What we have decided to do now is close down the school. We don’t want to see any student for now; this was done to douse the tension.”
