The Oyo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), has raised an alarm over what it described as alleged plans by Dominion Broadcast station to take over its land.
The union raised the concerns in a communique issued at the end of its emergency meeting and signed by the trio of Abiodun Atilola (State Information Chapel) Chairman, Musliudeen Adebayo (Correspondent Chapel) Secretary and Mosunmola Akinola (MOAK Chapel) member.
The union alleged that there were plans by the management of the broadcast station to trespass and encroach on a parcel of land belonging to it, stating that the land in question had been in possession of the union for years and it is backed with a Certificate of Occupancy issued by the Oyo State Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development.
It, however, called on the management of the broadcast station to stop any attempt to forcefully take over the land.
The union then called on Governor Seyi Makinde, to intervene in the matter, while also alerting the security agencies in the state about the development.
The communique read in part, “That the congress called on the owners of Dominion Broadcast Station to stop any attempt to trespass or encroach on a parcel of land belonging to the union.
“The congress called on the Oyo State Government, under the leadership of Engineer Seyi Makinde, to call the owner of the broadcast station to order. The congress also called on the security agencies to be aware of this.”
