Students attack teachers with guns in Osun

Teachers at Anglican High School and Adenle Middle School in Osogbo narrowly escaped being shot when some cultists invaded the school compound and chased out teachers.

The school which houses student population of about 7,000 is made up of Anglican High School 1-5 and some students of Adenle Middle School.

Punch correspondent gathered on Thursday that the crisis was caused by some students who knew they could not pass the qualifying examination the state wanted to conduct to select those whose WAEC fee would be paid by the state government.

But some said the crisis started last Friday when a student identified as Toib and his colleagues stormed the school premises with dane guns to attack a member of Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme ( O’ YES cadet) who they had issues with.

A teacher told our correspondent that Toib and his gang chased a female Home Economics teacher out of the class when the trouble started.

The invasion of the school forced other students and workers to flee.
