The fight between the institution's employees, students, and certain members of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) resulted in the closure of the establishment.

Remember that when EFCC agents invaded the college on Tuesday, there was tension there.

In a statement made available to DAILY POST on Wednesday, Dele Oyewale, Head of Media and Publicity at the EFCC, stated that during a routine verification exercise of a surety, Azeez Kazeem Oluwakemi, seven agents of the commission's Ibadan Zonal Command were attacked and taken hostage by college staff and students.

According to Oyewale, the agents were present at the campus to verify Oluwakemi's identification and address. Oluwakemi was acting as a guarantee for Alakinde Khalid Kolawole, an alleged online scammer who is under the commission's custody.

In the statement, the EFCC spokesman further stated that college employees and students launched a furious assault on commission agents who were carrying out a legitimate duty.

The EFCC observed that the college community had received adequate information regarding the team's mission.

According to Mr. Kehinde Olawale, the college's public relations officer, the incident has caused the college to close.

These statements were made by Olawale on Wednesday over the phone with DAILY POST.

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.”
