Investigations revealed that though the school was fenced, there was no gate to prevent unfettered access to the school compound.

News of the event within a short period of time filtered into the town, and parents/guardians thronged the school to withdraw their children/wards.

Reacting to the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed it and assured that his men were doing everything possible to arrest the suspect as soon as possible.

“Those who know him (suspect) said he is a madman and also an indigene of that place. But we are not relying on that. We are on his trail, we want to get him arrested.

“It is only the medical expert that would confirm whether he is a mad person or not. Our ultimate aim is to get him arrested. As I’m talking to you now, the Area Commander and the DPO Abigi are at the scene. We have set machinery in motion to get him arrested” the PPRO stated.
