According to reports received by DAILY POST, three students were shot at Lifecamp Government Secondary School in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. The students were allegedly shot by boys who entered the school premises with firearms. A reliable source informed our correspondent that the incident occurred on Thursday within the school premises, approximately 500 meters away from the residence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The source expressed concern about the recurring issue of gun violence in the school, describing it as a yearly routine. The source mentioned that the boys came to the school with guns to engage in a fight, resulting in three students being shot. The police reportedly arrived late at the scene.
The source conveyed, “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 meters from the residence of the FCT Minister. This is a repeat of what happened yesterday. It happens regularly.”
Upon contacting the spokesperson of the FCT Police Command, Josephine Adeh, she confirmed the incident and stated, “I can confirm that there was an incident there, and the Commissioner of Police has ordered an investigation.”
