Addressing a press conference in Ibadan, national president of IHSOSA, Dr. Bayo Busari together with his predecessor, Professor Ishaq Omotosho and other alumnus of the school, showed some documents on the issue.
The IHSOSA national president said available documents revealed that the radio station paid a sum of N360,000 to the state government to use the school last year.
Dr. Busan added that the state government has also granted the radio station the approval to use the school from November 2024 to October 2025 and lamented the arrest of the principal by the police when the owner of the radio station, Alhaji Oriyomi Hazmat, has not been arrested.
The IHSOSA also queried the arrest of the school principal when the director of schools, Mr. Olayinka Akanji, who usually granted the approval on behalf of the ministry, has not been arrested and that the detention of the principal for more than 48 hours without being charged to court is a violation of his fundamental human right by the police.
“The principal did not approve the usage of the school. It is the state government through the Ministry of Education that usually grant the approval and that has been the practice. The principal has been detained for more than forty eight hours and he has not been charged to court as at today,” he said.
Dr Busari added: “It is more than forty eight hours since he was arrested. That is violation of his fundamental human right. The principal has been arrested since Wednesday and the owner of the media partner of the event, Alhaji Oriyomi Hazmat has not been arrested. We understand that Queen Naomi Silekunola has been arrested too.
“We have documents that show that the state government is the one that has been approving the school premises for usage and not the principal. They pay some certain amount of money and they grant them the approval. The approval comes from the ministry and not the principal.
“The principal in his letter to the radio station has advised the station to put necessary measures in place to prevent unforseen circumstances. So, why is the police still holding the principal when the owner of the radio station has not been arrested? This is injustice and unfair.”..N..>>Don’t Miss Out! CLICK HERE TO KEEP READING> >>>
