Legit.ng gathers that Olusola was one of three students who sustained various injuries during the incident.
Hoodlums had taken advantage of the pandemonium and decended upon Olusola’s school.
As they went about destroying various equipments, the students believed they would come after them, and began running helter-skelter.
Speaking about the unfortunate incident, Cordelia Amadi, the school’s headmistress stated: “I was in the office on Tuesday when some parents came and said that they heard that in Owerri that some soldiers were entering schools and forcefully injecting children.
“The parents insisted that they wanted to take their children back home.
“I told them that no soldier would enter the school without invitation and that the school would not allow the children to go until 1pm.
“But before you knew what was happening, some miscreants broke the gate and entered the school premises.
“They (miscreants) destroyed computers and some other equipment in school.
“Even when the State commissioner for education came in to tell the parents that the information they got was false, the parents still did not believe him.
“After the incident, about seven students were left behind and a woman came and said she was looking for her son. Then one of our teachers told me that a boy was injured and he was seen running home with the wound.
“A Good Samaritan saw the boy and rushed him to a clinic."
The young boy is still receiving treatment at the hospital, and the headmistress stated that she had visited him there.
His father, Sunkami Olusola, further disclosed that as a result of the severe injury, his son’s hand had to be stitched by doctors. He expressed profound sadness over the incident.
