Three students have been shot at Lifecamp Government Secondary School, in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The students were reportedly shot by some boys who came to the school with guns.
A highly placed source, who disclosed this to newsmen, said the incident happened on Thursday within the school premises.
The incident occurred 500 meters away from the residence of the FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike.
The source told newsmen that gun violence in the school is becoming a yearly routine.
He said: “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”.
At the time of filing this report, the spokesperson the the FCT Police Command, Superintendent Josephine Adeh did not pick calls or return text messages concerning the incident.
