Anchor University Set to Move to Permanent Site

The owners of Anchor University have announced that it is time to move to its permanent site. This is coming 6 years after the establishment of the institution.

The Chairman, Land and Building Committee, Deeperlife Bible Church, Pastor Alfred Ogene, said the Church can no longer afford delays in repossessing the Church land at Maba town, Ogun State, which encroachers have refused to let go, despite a series of court judgments in favour of the Church.

He said on July 15, 2016, all trespassers on the land were ordered by the Trial Judge, Honourable Justice Abiodun Akinyemi to remove forthwith from the Claimant’s land, any equipment, building materials or structures put thereon.

He added that upon this judgement, the court on May 8, 2017, issued a Warrant of Possession to the Claimant and a Writ of Possession was served on all structures and fence lines on the encroached portion of the land on January 9, 2018. He added that the court dismissed the suit filed by representatives of the trespassers and encroachers in its final ruling on September 7, 2018.

“I wish to state clearly that in spite of the above, the Deeperlife Bible Church is now totally ready to repossess all the encroached portions of its land of more than 40-hectare parcel of land in Maba town, earmarked for the permanent site of Anchor University as approved by Nigeria Universities Commission (NUC)” he said.
