There was panic within Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi State on Wednesday as private schools hurriedly closed over alleged herdsmen attack.
As news of the alleged attack spread, parents left their places of work and dashed to their children’s schools to take them home. Some of the teachers attributed the decision to the insecurity and tension created in the last one week following series of attacks in the state and southeast. One of the teachers, Mrs. Charity Ugwu of Gifted Kids Academy Abakaliki, said the moment the rumor filtered in “the Proprietor summoned a meeting of the teachers and we all resolved to send the children home to safeguard them while we monitor events”.
“We are not certain if the school will resume tomorrow or not. We don’t want to endanger the lives of our children, so we will monitor the security situation in the state and determine if they will resume tomorrow or not.
Weldon Governor, your plan is working. There are people who are not supposed to smell this power or occupy such a sensitive position. What a country!
I noticed one thing ooo... Since the unknown gunmen have been killing security men in South East, Fulani herdsmen attack in South East is becoming history? Who noticed it also?
