‘They came around in the morning to remove the padlock on the gate. It is a gradual thing. We believe will get over the trauma caused by the corporation’, he said.
Recall that on Thursday, 21st of January, 2021, AMCON led by Barr, Nick Omeye had initially around 1:40 pm stormed the girls’ boarding school with a team of over 40 heavily armed policemen and left shortly after.
‘They later returned around 5.30 pm in a Gestapo style and allegedly sealed up the school gates with students and staff inside’.
We had earlier reported that 344 female students and staff of Providence High School, Independence Layout, Enugu were detained in the school premises by officials of AMCON.
