FBC Gives Students Final Notice to Vacate Hostels, Threatens Police Intervention
Sia Lucy Kannah The Administration of Fourah Bay College (FBC) has issued a final notice directing all students still occupying its hostels to vacate their rooms and surrender their keys by the close of business on Monday, November 9, 2026, warning that the Sierra Leone Police may be called in to facilitate the exercise.
In a notice issued through the Office of the Deputy Registrar, the College said some students had continued to occupy hostel rooms despite repeated notices and warnings requiring them to leave the premises.
The directive, issued on the instructions of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, requires all affected students to remove their personal belongings and hand over their original room keys to authorised hostel management personnel.
According to the Administration, the exercise is intended to allow the College to conduct a comprehensive inspection and inventory of all hostel rooms, including an assessment of the condition of rooms, doors, fittings and other College property, ahead of the next phase of hostel management.
The College further stated that, due to continued non-compliance, it had resolved to seek assistance from the Sierra Leone Police to ensure the orderly vacation of the hostels and prevent further obstruction of the inventory exercise.
It added that any police involvement would be carried out in accordance with applicable laws and established procedures.
The Administration has urged all affected students to comply with the directive and cooperate with authorised officials, warning that failure to do so could result in further administrative or disciplinary action under the University’s rules and regulations.
The notice was described as final and requiring immediate attention.
