Osun State Government has ordered immediate closure of Ifeoluwa Grammar School, Osogbo, over students unrest.
The order was following the clash between students of the school and some suspected cultists that reportedly invaded the school on Tuesday.
It was gathered that some suspected cultists invaded the school with cutlasses and other dangerous weapons as teachers scampered for safety.
The whole school was in disarray ad the fight caught some innocent students unaware, finding it difficult to escape.
But, for the quick intervention of security operatives, the fight would have led to loss of life.
Though, some students were seriously injured, police spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola, said nobody died.
Opalola confirmed that some students sustained various degree of injuries and have been taken to hospital where they are receiving treatment.
However, the Coordinating Director, State Ministry of Education, Mrs. Kehinde Olaniyan, in a statement made available to newsmen in Osogbo, Thursday, stated that the Commissioner for Education has directed immediate closure of the school.
She said the closure became necessary to prevent breakdown of law and order.
The school will therefore remain closed till further notice.
The statement warned parents and guardians to keep their wards at home, assuring that the Ministry is working round the clock to ensure that the hoodlums are arrested and prosecuted accordingly.
