Federal College of Forestry in Ibadan has been shut down by the management of the institution until further notice.
The institution was shut down over the clash that occurred between the staff and students of the institution and some officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .
The Head of Media and Publicity of the commission, Dele Oyewale, gave the warning in a statement made available to journalists in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. He said operatives of the commission exercised restraint in the face of the unprovoked attack and refrained from applying any force against the belligerent attackers, adding that no student or staff of the college was shot, as armed operatives merely fired into the air to disperse the unruly crowd.
“Two main entrance gates to the college were barricaded with a car believed to be owned by one of the lecturers of the college. The bus that conveyed operatives to the college was vandalised, even as students and staff of the college threw stones and dangerous objects at the vehicle.” The Operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority have impounded over 100 private/commercial vehicles for operating illegal parking/garages on bridges across the state.The Troops of 1 Division of the Nigerian Army in Kaduna, have arrested two suspected suppliers of ammunition to terrorists and recovered weapons and 16 motorcycles in Kaduna.
