Osun: 4 injured as secondary school students engage in a bloody fight

Pandemonium broke out in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, when four students were reportedly injured as some students of Baptist High School, Jaleymi,  Osogbo  engaged in a bloody fight with some secondary school students from another school in town.

Though the cause of the clash was unknown as of the time of filing this report, eyewitness informed Saturday Tribune that the clash lasted for almost two hours before operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) could restore order in the area.

However, some teachers, who pleaded anonymity  hinted that clash was precipitated by rivalry between two cult groups.

Sources informed our correspondent that some male pupils armed with machetes and other weapons  invaded the school in the morning and engaged the male students of the school in a clash  which eventually culminated in the sudden closure of the school.

When Saturday Tribune visited the school premises on Friday, students  were  spotted trooping out of the school enmasse before the official closing time with some parents rushing to the school to take home their children.

Meanwhile, operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and policemen were deployed to the school to restore peace so as to prevent the development from degenerating into a complete breakdown of law and order.

Some of the witnesses said four students were injured while the clash lasted, but security agencies were able to arrest  two male pupils and two female pupils.

However, some of the students and residents around the school contended that those arrested were not the ones involved in the clash.

When contacted, the  Public Relations Officer of the NSCDC, Mr. Ayo Olowe, confirmed the incident, explaining that the situation was put under control through the prompt response from the men of the command.
