The communique was signed by the trio of Abiodun Atilola (State Information Chapel) Chairman, Musliudeen Adebayo (Correspondent chapel) Secretary and Mosunmola Akinola (MOAK Chapel) member.
The union alleged that there were plans by the management of the broadcast station to trespass and encroach on a parcel of land belonging to it.
The union, in the communique, also said that the land in question had been in possession of the union for years and that it is backed with a Certificate of Occupancy issued by the Oyo State Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development
It, however, called on the management of the broadcast station to stop any attempt to forcefully take over the land.
The union also called on the state Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, to intervene in the matter, and urge him to alert the security agencies about the development.
The communique reads “That the congress called on the owners of Dominion Broadcast Station to stop any attempt to trespass or encroach on a parcel of land belonging to the union.
“The congress called on the Oyo State Government, under the leadership of Engineer Seyi Makinde, to call the owner of the broadcast station to order. The congress also called on the security agencies to be aware of this.
