The Chairman, Parent Teachers Association (PTA), Suleiman Idajili, said the decision followed a terrorist attack on a nearby village on Sunday morning.

The management of the Federal Government College, Kwali, Abuja, has asked parents to evacuate their wards from the school over the fear of attack by terrorists.

This has caused panic among the management, staff, students and parents of the school.

The school management asked parents to evacuate their wards following an attack in a nearby village “that shares a fence” with the school.

The students who were scheduled to conclude their third term examination on Tuesday have now been sent home.

A parent who evacuated his wards and asked not to be named told PREMIUM TIMES that the school reached out to parents.

“I just picked them up from Giri junction,” he said. “The house master called to inform us,” the parent said.

“Meanwhile, the examination is still ongoing. Some students are still stranded, waiting for their parents,” he added.

The Chairman, Parent Teachers Association (PTA) of the school, Suleiman Idajili, in a telephone interview with PREMIUM TIMES, said the directive followed an attack on a nearby village on Sunday morning.

He said terrorists attacked the village sharing a fence with the school and abducted a man and his wife. He said the terrorists later left without the wife.

He added that the prompt response of the security personnel in the school protected it from the terrorists.

He said the school management directed parents to evacuate their wards by Monday, but that those near the school opted to pick up their wards on Sunday.

The decision, he said, was approved by officials of the Federal Ministry of Education who he disclosed visited the school earlier on Sunday.

He said[b]: “Officially, we say they should all come tomorrow (Monday). But those that live around want to pick their children today. And many of them came today.”

“It was because of the prompt response of the army, the police and other security personnel in the school compound that they (terrorist) didn’t enter the school compound,” he said.

“So, that was why we had to take that action because we don’t know their next plan.”[/b]

Efforts to speak to the Director of Press at the education ministry, Ben Goong, were unsuccessful on Sunday as he neither picked calls to his line nor replied a message sent to him.


PTA chairman allays fear

Meanwhile, Mr Idajili has assured parents that the security operatives are on ground to guide against any intrusion by attackers.

He said: “We have very tight security to secure those whose parents didn’t come to pick them up tonight. The army is involved. The police are involved; secret police and ocal vigilantes are all involved.”

When contacted, the FCT police spokesperson, Adeh Josephine, said she was unaware of such an incident. She promised to make enquiries and get back to our reporter. She was, however, yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.

The Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Kwali Division, did not respond to calls by our reporter.

Since the infamous abduction of over 276 girls in Chibok, Borno State, Nigeria has witnessed at least 28 incidents of school attacks in the country.

Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, has also experienced security challenges. A few weeks ago, terrorist attacked the Kuje Correctional Centre and freed inmates, some of them facing terrorism related charges.

Yawa. God airpus o.

Just look at what Buhari has turned this country to.
May God judge you and your house hold for this unrest going on in this nation.

Hmm

The people around know where the terrorists are hiding

The army , police and other security outfits know where they are

Wetin dey burst my brain na , why the govt refuse to give the soldiers go ahead to do what they should do

Them come dey use soldiers life dey play kalo kalo

Remember how those mercenaries that goodluck brought weere messing boko haram up that year that they had to call for help from abroad. Immediately baba came to power, he called them off

See the billions of naira spent to defence, tucano "jets" bought, and they refuse to use it, giving one mumu excuse after another. Does it make sense.

There is obviously so much that what meets the eyes

According to Lai Mohammed "No place that is not safe in Nigeria to live, those saying Nigeria is not safe are just demarketing it". We don't need prophet to tell us the condition of Nigeria, its economy that is once booming is now shadow of itself, the insecurity is now totally out of control. When are we going to get it right? will there ever be away out of this mess that Nigeria found itself? Hmmmmmmmmmm! it is well that is just the only comforting words i can use to console those going the hard times in Nigeria.

K

This is really sad.

This is Barrister Hassan Usman before and current pic in captivity.

Few weeks ago,he was on social media defending PMB and fighting everyone on the supposed insecurity.

Today he is now a victim.

I pray he is saved, as this would be a turning point for him.

We can't keep supporting evil because of party affiliation...call a spade what it is..
Copied

Nigeria must happen to everyone of you defending APC's evil government.

state of the nation

Nigeria has really never had it this bad, the country is on a downward trajectory. Nothing seems to be working, security, economy, education, food security, standard of living, sports etc all just bad.
Bad is too light a word, things are extremely terrible.

And yet some people are still campaigning for this demonic party and its almost vegetative candidate who has nothing to offer than emi lokan.

I really hope our eyes get open and we vote for the only candidate we all know can set the country on the right path, i won`t mention his name cos we all know. Even the brain dead APC urchins are well aware.

welcome to Afghanistan my dear nigerians


stay steady as tinubus product aka buhari pilots us to greater heights

AaaafeeeeeCeeeee! Prom Tof to bottom....Tof to bottom!

Nijeriyaaaaaaa! Tof to bottom... Tof to bottom


Everything is going from top to bottom and some conscienceless idiots are campaigning to bring in another disaster in waiting that installed this present disaster.

If after watching that released video of Kaduna train kidnap victims, you still want to campaign for APC, then you are EVIL!


This is Tinubu confessing that Buhari is a fanatic, yet he imposed him on Nigerians BC of his selfish ambition.

God forbid BAT things.

So bandit are serious when the say the Will kidnap presiMAD buhari

To think this school is on a federal road.

It's finished

Telling people to vote their conscience in this present Nigeria is a fraud. Tell them to vote Peter Obi. Peter Obi is the conscience of PATRIOTIC Nigerians. GO GET YOUR PVC, PDP AND APC HAS FAIL US

Chia!!

Instead of security to be tightened up in such areas.

This is Abuja oh...

Same ways there's currently a threat of terror attack on Brigham University, along Abuja-Keffi express Road.

Most students are leaving the school now...

These guys are close to Aso rock already

Good decision by the school management

Parents, make una no wait o!

Evacuate your children ASAP. Exams can be rewritten, life can't be respawned o.

Some of these parents are those shouting sai Baba and they’re still shouting BAT, una never see anything I don’t feel pity for those who don’t learn lessons from what they’ve seen instead be blinded by political sentiments and religion

One would think that because the president is in Abuja, that it would be the safest state in the country. But here we are
