Clash Between Two Secondary Schools in Ilorin Leaves Students Injured

Date: 2024-11-21

Several students sustained injuries following a violent clash between two secondary schools in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State.

The altercation, which reportedly took place on Monday, left over 10 students injured. According to an eyewitness account, the fracas began around 11 a.m. when students from Government High School and Government Day Secondary School, both located in the Adeta area, reignited a previous disagreement.

The witness said: “More than ten students were wounded in the melee that threw the area into pandemonium. The issue started about two weeks ago and climaxed with the present situation suspected to be a reprisal attack.”

Some attributed the development to cultism and battle supremacy between the students.

When contacted, the Press Secretary in the state Ministry of Education, Peter Amogbonjaye, told City & Crime on Wednesday that a statement was on the way over the issue.

Police spokeswoman, Toun Ejire-Adeyemi (DSP), confirmed the incident, adding that some of the suspects were arrested in batches during the police random intervention while the incident lasted.

She said an investigation was still ongoing to determine the cause of the fight.
