A section of popular Muslim primary school located at Isinkan street in Oke Aro area of Akure, Ondo state has been burnt by arsonists suspected to be cultists.

Sources say the government-owned school, was invaded around midnight by cultists said to have been terrorizing the neighborhood.

According to Sahara Reporters, the invaders burgled the office of the headmistress of the school, carting away useful documents and electrical appliances after which they set it ablaze.

Mrs. Ale Ebunoluwa, the headmistress, confirmed the attack to Sahara Reporters, saying huge damage was caused to school properties. She said that residents of the area where the school is located and have children in the school called her attention to the midnight fire attack

The headmistress said her personal office was burnt along with relevant documents.

“I was called at midnight that some hoodlums had attacked and set the school ablaze, while they also destroyed and damaged properties in the office.

“I was helpless and quickly called the attention of the board to the incident and I think they also called the police immediately to intervene, but the arsonists had escaped," she said.

Mrs Ebunoluwa described the act as barbaric, adding that the government and security agencies have been informed of the development.

It was gathered that before the suspected cultists attacked the school, they had attacked a compound in the area and made away with residents' belongings.

Sources in the area said the cultists are aged between 17 and 28. They are also said to be mostly school drop-outs, who were initiated by gangsters.

Ayomide Adeleye, a resident in the areas said that a cult gang has been using the primary school as a hideout to terrorize the neighbourhood.

Adeleye said the invaders found it easy to attack the school because it has no security arrangement. He further said officials of some security agencies have visited the school and currently investigating the incident.
