The Edo State Government has ordered the immediate closure of three secondary schools in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area following rising security concerns and fears of a possible abduction of students.
The affected schools are Ososo Grammar School, Ososo; Ososo Comprehensive High School, Ososo; and Makeke Secondary School, Makeke.
The government said the decision was taken as a precautionary measure to protect students, teachers and other school staff from potential security threats.
The closure follows reports circulating on social media, allegedly linked to a Department of State Services (DSS) alert, warning of a planned mass abduction of school children in parts of the state.
