The management of Bodija International School, Ibadan, Oyo State, has warned the Minister of Police Affairs, Mr. Jelili Adesiyan to desist from using the school playground for other activities. The school accused the minister of trespass when he landed his helicopter on the school’s playground around 10:30am last Sunday without the school’s approval.
The school authorities while petitioning him said, the illegal landing of the helicopter destroyed some of its property and therefore reminded him it was a private institution and not a public owned school.
“It has been brought to our notice that your helicopter landed on the school grounds without the knowledge and consent of the school authorities.
“We hereby remind you sir, that ours is a private organization and landing the helicopter on our premises without permission constitutes trespass,” part of the petition to the State Governor read.
Olajumoke Ojo & Co who signed the petition said the action “caused considerable damage to underlying drainage pipes in the School Sports Arena currently undergoing major construction works.”
“We, hereby, request that this should not be repeated. As you can imagine, this action, if repeated, could disrupt educational activities and pose considerable danger, if the school had been in session.”
