Recall that the Comprehensive Secondary School, Nkume in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State was on Monday invaded by gunmen believed to be members of IPOB enforcing the sit-at-home order.

It was gathered that the gunmen stormed the school premises to stop students from writing their examinations.

The gunmen invaded the school while students were preparing for the English Language paper of the Junior Secondary School Examination.

The incident saw teachers and students run to safety as the gunmen shot sporadically into the air to disperse them.

The gunmen after chasing the students set ablaze some motorcycles belonging to some of the staff and students.
