The Gombe State Government on Wednesday ordered the closure of all public and private schools in the state, a day after suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked two towns in the state.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that parents who took their children to school yesterday were told to take them back as the schools had been closed on the orders of the government.

The headmistress of Bethany International College, Gombe, Edith Williams, said she received a circular on Tuesday evening that all schools should be closed down for security reasons.

Some parents who spoke with journlists commended the state government for the action, saying it was a necessary action to safeguard the students.
