Early this morning, barely few minutes after the students had returned from the assembly ground, the cutlass-wielding thugs stormed the school premises in tricycles and motorcycles. Not to be outclassed, the students were said to have confronted them with stones in order to prevent themselves from being harmed.

The owner of the house, whose son was alleged of been a member of the invading thugs, was arrested while the aluminiun windows of the house was shattered.
