Suspected herdsmen yesterday allegedly invaded Community Grammar School, Alaropo Nla, in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, injuring students and teachers in the process.
It was gathered that the herders, numbering over 20, purportedly invaded the school with their cattle and injured some of the students and teachers, including one Paul Olabode, inflicting wounds on them with sword and machete cuts, while many others were left with broken legs and hands.
The source disclosed that the school had just finished morning devotion and students were preparing to settle down for their second term examination when the herdsmen invaded the school farm with their cows grazing mindlessly on crops.
The school Principal Grace Alamu, who confirmed the incident said they reported it to the police but the Police Public Relations officer in Oyo State SP Adewale Osifeso said that nothing of such incident happened in the school and nobody was injured as alleged.
