The proprietor of the Divine Kiddies Academy, Nyanya, which was attacked by armed robbers this morning, Mrs Fola Kolade, has said that the school will not be reopened until government provides adequate security.
While narrating the incidence to newsmen at the school premises shortly after the attack, Mrs Folade said, though the school would obey the federal government directive that schools and offices should close for the period of the World Economic Forum in Abuja, it was unsure when the school will be reopened.
“I can’t say if they are insurgents or just robbers,” Mrs Kolade said. “We need security.” She however expressed relief that none of the students were kidnapped.
The robbery attack on the school, in which the school bus was taken away, sparked rumors of kidnap in the area and students of various primary and secondary schools were all over the streets returning home from schools, even as agitated parents ran to schools to withdraw their wards.
