Anambra Shuts Down School After Bullying
The Anambra State Government has ordered the immediate closure of Upcoming Star International School on Ifite Road, Awka, following an incident involving the alleged bullying of a seven-year-old pupil. According to the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, the government took swift action after receiving reports that the pupil’s classmate had broken her leg during the incident.
Upon summoning the school’s proprietor, Mr. Uchechukwu Onyeachonam, for questioning, authorities discovered that the school was operating without official approval. Governor Chukwuma Soludo subsequently directed that the school be sealed by 2 pm on the same day, citing the dangers posed by unapproved institutions to children in the state.
Prof. Chuma-Udeh warned that proprietors of illegal schools would face legal consequences for violating state regulations and urged parents to avoid enrolling their children in unapproved schools.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
