Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) UNIBEN chapter and students of the university, protested on the streets of Benin, yesterday condemning the demolition by the Edo State Government on Monday, of property given to UNIBEN by the government of Dr Samuel Ogbemudia, including the official residence of the immediate past Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Osayuki Oshodin.

They described the demolition as illegal.

But reacting, the state Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General, Mr. Henry Idahagbon, said: “We did not demolish UNIBEN property. We only took possession of Edo State Government property based on a court judgment of December 16, 2014.”
