It was gathered that the attackers, numbering about 20, invaded Community Grammar School, Alaropo Nla in Oriire Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

One of the school’s tutors, Paul Olabode, was inflicted with sword and machete cuts, while many others, including students, were left with varying degrees of injuries. The development has caused panic in the town.
This newspaper learned that the school had just finished morning devotion and students were preparing to settle down in their classrooms to continue their second-term examination when the herdsmen invaded the school’s farm with their cows grazing mindlessly on crops.
Efforts made by the students and the teachers to drive away the herdsmen were met with brutal resistance.
The school principal, Mrs Grace Alamu, confirmed the incident.
She narrated: “I am on my way to the school. Policemen are coming to the school this morning.”
Meanwhile, efforts to contact the Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, to get security agents’ reaction, proved unsuccessful.
