A violent clash between students of two secondary schools in Ilorin, Kwara State, has left more than 10 students injured. The fight, which occurred on Monday at around 11:00 am, involved students from Government High School and Government Day Secondary School in Adeta.
The encounter, believed to be a reprisal of a previous disagreement, resulted in chaos, with witnesses describing the scene as one of pandemonium. Sources suggest the clash may be linked to ongoing issues, including cultism and a battle for supremacy between the schools’ students.
Peter Amogbonjaye, Press Secretary for the Ministry of Education, confirmed that a statement addressing the situation would be issued soon.
Police spokesperson, DSP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, confirmed the incident and noted that several suspects were arrested during a police intervention. The authorities are continuing their investigation to uncover the root cause of the violence.
