July 6, 2023A trending video of the attack seen by SaharaReporters on Thursday morning, showed the school children and their teachers lying down and being questioned on why they disobeyed the sit-at-home directive.
The terrified and traumatised pupils, who were flogged repeatedly were overheard telling the hoodlums that they came to school to take their First School Leaving Certificate examination, which is a statewide examination. The outlawed group was overheard in the video asking the pupils “Why did you people come out today that you know is sit-at-home?
When asked what they had to say, one of the pupils, amid tears told them, “We will not come out again.” SaharaReporters observed that students in schools that had no perimeter fences were immediately dismissed to go home.
