The insider added:“The gunmen are usually
many whenever they attack. The first time they
came, they appeared to be searching for
something as they ransacked all offices.This
time, they came with three or four men wearing
masks. They were apparently the people who
wanted something from the school or offices.
When they came this time, they were the ones
doing the frantic searching.Whether they
succeeded in getting what they wanted this time
around is what we don’t know.”
Meanwhile the state Police Public Relations
Officer, Ngozi Braide, however said only a case
of burglary was reported.“I just got to hear today
that the place has been burgled three times.
But they had never reported. It’s only today that
an official complaint was lodged. No case of rape
was reported. Nobody has come forward to say
that she was raped,” she said.
