Kassim stated further that the bandits took advantage of the porosity of the school’s security to strike.
A senior lecturer of the institution, Dr Godwin Okaneme described the attack as “well-syndicated and coordinated.”
“The attack happened opposite my quarters. The hoodlums went on for about two hours with no form of help in sight,” he said.
