She said the Thursday’s invasion was the third time the hoodlums would be invading the school in the last one month, saying their acts were deadly and they wielded dangerous weapons.

 

On why they should be after her, the school principal said “they are after me because I counseled them to be useful citizens to themselves and the society”.

 

She however said she was not surprised about the attack because it had her experience as a teacher in the state having experienced the worst of attack in her former school, Nekede Secondary School where the cultists deflected her car four tyres and locked up the school gate.
