Three students have reportedly been shot at Lifecamp Government Secondary School, in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Wakadaily learnt that the students were shot by some boys who came to the school with guns on Thursday.
The incident happened 500 metres away from the residence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
An eyewitness who disclosed this to newsmen said gun violence in the school is becoming a yearly routine.
His words: “Bad boys came to school with guns to fight, three students were shot and police came late.
“I don’t know if you can raise awareness about this issue, this shouldn’t be happening in the heart of Abuja by small children and nobody is doing or saying anything. It seems to be a trend every year something deadly must happen in that school.
“Blood everywhere, parents crying like babies.
“Lifecamp Government Secondary School is directly opposite Lifecamp Police Station and about 500 metres from the residence of the FCT Minister. This is a repeat of what happened yesterday. It happens regularly.”
Spokesperson of the FCT Police Command, Josephine Adeh, who confirmed the incident said; “I can confirm that there was an incident there and the Commissioner of Police has ordered an investigation.”
