Some students of Osogbo Grammar School on Wednesday allegedly invaded a neighbouring school, disrupted its learning activities and left some students injured.

Operatives of the Department of Security Services, DSS, Police and Amotekun personnel were sighted at the Technical college when our correspondent visited the school.

Efforts to get the reaction of the school principal failed as he denied interview with journalists.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Osun state, SP Yemisi Opalola could not confirm if there is any arrest made on Wednesday as at the time of filing this report.

Special Adviser to Osun State Governor on Education, Jamiu Olawumi had warned that any student that behaves in a manner inimical to the peace of the society, of school or his fellow students would face the law of the state.

“We will not condone indiscipline in our schools. We have transcended that because we can identify our student. They no longer wear the same uniform and can no longer enter any school to start a fight.”
