Following Federal Government’s directive to close all unity schools because of insecurity and rumour of terrorists communications with some communities in the FCT, residents are in panic and living in fear.
It is alleged that some communities in the FCT have received communications from the terrorists notifying them of attacks.
Residents of Sheds community claimed that they were contacted of an imminent attack. There is tension in the community as an earlier rumored threat of attacking Kuje Medium Correctional Centre resulted in a jail break.
Following the panic in Sheda, Federal Government College, Kwali, near Sheda was is also in panic.
Before the directive to close schools, the college authority, out of panic had contacted the Federal Ministry of Education over the matter and were advised to contact parents to take their children from the school.
Using patents’ platform, parents were told to pick up their children as the school authority could no longer guarantee the children’s safety.
One resident who said she is an alumnus of the college who’s friend’s children are in the school confirmed the development.
She also confirmed that before the closure of the school, students heard sporadic gun shuts in the community, driving fear into the students and Sheda community.
