The school authority took the precautionary measures following heavy shooting between soldiers and militants suspected to be supporters of the militant leader, Solomon Ndigbara.

Perhaps the appeal by Governor Nyesom Wike, to the people of Khana and Gokana local government areas may have persuaded those who fled their homes to return, as it was observed that yesterday evening, many people fled Yeghe and Bori during the on-going gun duel in the area.

Eyewitnesses say Yeghe and Bori were ghost towns as soldiers have taken over the place regarded as the traditional headquarters of Ogoni people.

Austin Sor, the chairman of Gokana LGA who gave update of the situation in his council area said not less than seven persons are now feared dead, arising from the raid of the home of former militant leader, Solomon Ndigbara (also known as Osama Bin Laden), on Monday night in Yeghe community, in Gokana local government area of the state.http://www.bengist247.com/2016/02/ken-saro-wiwa-polytechnic-shut-down.html?m=0
