Nasarawa Schools Fears Over Boko Haram Threat Letter

There was pandemonium on Thursday in Nasarawa State over the alleged abduction threat letters sent to three government secondary schools by members of the dreaded Boko Haram group.

Students of Government Science Secondary School (GSSS), Lafia which was one of the schools that got the threat fled their hostels for fear of being abducted by the insurgents.

Available students who confirmed the incident said that many of their colleagues have left the school while they are waiting for the remaining students so that they escape together.

Security operatives had been deployed to the schools to forestall any intrusion as stern-looking mobile policemen have already taken over the school premises.

Reacting, the state Commissioner for Education, Yakubu Na’Hauwa, denied knowledge of the event, saying the information that students had left hostels had not reached his office.
