Following increasing fears of being kidnapped, teachers and their wards in Ohorhe school in  Uvwie local government area of Delta State have shunned the school as two teachers of the school were abducted in mysterious circumstances.

Among those who have reportedly refused to resume duties are the Principal of the school and teachers as well as apprehensive students whose two  fellow students were abducted in macabre fashion.
