However, soldiers were able to repel the attack as well as secure the students who were learning during the attack.
Meanwhile, one of the parents who spoke with the members of the press confirmed the incident. The parent said the school management had met and planned to relocate some of the students to an undisclosed location “to continue with their preparation for their exams.” He said.
This is coming a few hours after the news of the kidnapping of students of Bethel Baptist school, Kaduna on Monday.
