 And old boys of Methodist High School Lagos have vowed to resist any move by the Methodist Church of Nigeria to further encroach and combat the school landing to commercial or residential uses other than educational. Addressing newsmen in Lagos, the old boys led by the president, Angelia Bolaji Akinsoya, disclosed that the registered trustees of the Methodist Church have begun sale of Victoria Island land belonging to the school just the same way they did to the ones in Broad Street Lagos Island. Angelia Akinsoya, while narrating how the church obtained a second certificate of occupancy, Sea of O, threatened to bring down the structures currently being built on land. When to advertise, people online, if you google it, what it says, sales at the Wesley.com.ng. That was the ad, that was the advert that was placed on this thing. So if you go before a governor and you say you want to set up a residential building, maybe for the staff, you know, clandestinely, and then you are now advertising that you want to use it for commercial purpose. Governor Gidesawolu, please, we beg you, revoke this use to educational purpose, emancipate poverty in Lagos state. Please, we beg of you. Today we have Dr. Oliver Alibaba as the privilege and I want to let him know if truly is serving a living God and he knows that he will stand before God for judgment and he also remember that we all be remembered for what we have done here on earth. He should put an end to all these things that men of God should never be involved with. For reasons that don't concern us, the Methodist Church finds itself in financial crisis and it has always tried to then look at assets that were on ground before many of them took up positions in the church hierarchy. To sell them, the church needs to step up its acts because what we have seen here is a situation where the assets of the school are being springed without any commensurate developments. In fact, one of our old boys was saying that he was saddened when the school came, the school that is 146 years old came to do an ad-bat in his radio station. I mean, a good product sells itself. The immediate past president of NBHS Old Boys Association, Colakbor Shobbetung, and all their members condemned the transfer of two acres of land belonging to the school into private use by the registered trustees. They call on the Lagos state governor Babaji Disanwulu to please come to their aid and revoke Parallel CFO of the church. They recalled how thugs attacked unarmed old boys led by its one-year-old chief Tunde Fani Mokum and 85-year-old Reverend Peter O'Malley when they visited the site last on January 29, 2024. This is what they are planning to put. They want to sell on school land some clique, some clique in Medodal Street, Nigeria, not all of them. Some clique that wants to stain the good name of the church. And we are going to resist it with the legal instrument of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Oh, right now, they have gone to change the use to residential as against educational. Meanwhile, Medodal East Boys High School still has a subsistence here for educational purpose. So where does that correlate? Those are parallel certificates of occupancies that that they can never meet because in law the first in time prevails is second to none. And that it is on that basis that we can conclude that the certificate of occupancy in the name of Medodal East Boys High School is the authentic. They maintain that the course they are fighting is for the students and generations yet unborn. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
