The police have increased their presence around the Senate building of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) following the crisis rocking the institution.

Chairman of UNILAG Governing Council Wale Babalakin had held a meeting on Wednesday at the National Universities Commission headquarters in Abuja where it was decided that UNILAG vice-chancellor Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe be removed from office.

Prof. Theophilus Soyombo of the Faculty of Science was announced early Thursday as his replacement in a statement by the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Oladejo Azeez.

Igbere TV reports that the school’s Senate is meeting at Ade Ajayi Main Auditorium to discuss Ogundipe’s sudden removal.

Police have restricted access to the Senate building, the administrative hub of the university housing the offices of the vice-chancellor, other principal officers as well as the Senate chamber.

It was also gathered that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) UNILAG branch has warned Soyombo not to try to force his resumption as acting vice-chancellor.

The union is said to have scheduled a congress to debate Ogundipe’s removal.

It's a good move if they are there to maintain order, but in recent times we've seen that such moves are meant to escort the candidate favoured by certain powers that be, to resume office. Next will be to withdraw security aides from the sacked VC & arrest him.
