Abeokuta Grammar School Old Boys Association, Agsoba has urged the Ogun State Government led by Prince Dapo Abiodun to follow the rules of law and be impartial on the land crisis between the school and those alleged to have encroached on their lands.
This appeal was made in a report by the President-General of AGSOBA GLOBAL, Chief Sunday Oduntan with an appeal to the government not to politicise the issue or create a crisis that could affect the government if it shows bias on the matter.
He hinted on a note allegedly forwarded by one of the illegal occupants, one Mr Kuforiji to the State Governor, in a bid to blackmail and politicise the land issue with Graceland community Olokuta and Abule Nla community.
The President-General assured all old students of the school that, "nobody can deny Abeokuta Grammar School the ownership of the land bought by the school founding fathers since late 50s and early 60s, since they have proper documentation and receipts of purchase as the rightful owner in their possession".
He expressed shock at how those who encroached on the lands have prevented their contractors from bringing blocks to the site through Abule nla and Olokuta for fencing.
In his words he alleged that, "the illegal occupants have brought fetish pot to the site, they also brought thugs to come and haras the workers on site".
Chief Oduntan however assured that the Agsoba will never resort to violence or illegal acts saying "we will never use thugs, the law is on our side, we shall only use the rule of law".
He appealed to the state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun to follow the rules of law and be impartial in his interference.
